Rudeboy claimed that <em>"Winning"</em> was originally his, written and performed for his upcoming album set to release next year.</p><p>To back up his allegations, Rudeboy shared a demo version of the track, asserting that it had been part of a P-Square album proposal. He questioned why Mr P would release a song that had already been prepared for his own project.</p><p>In response, Mr P denied the accusations, stating that he co-wrote the song with another artist. He also provided WhatsApp chats with the producer to prove that both brothers had a hand in the song’s creation. Mr P emphasized that the brothers should move past the negativity and allow him to pursue his music peacefully.</p><p>Despite this public dispute, <em>"Winning"</em> has gained attention for its catchy beat and motivational message, though fans remain divided, with some viewing it as a call for unity and others seeing it as another chapter in the brothers' ongoing feud.</p></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>The 2024 P-Square Split: What Went Wrong?</strong></h3><p>The popular <a href="https://www.spectrum-daily.com/2024/11/2025-grammy-awards-nigerian-artists-dominate.html">Nigerian music</a> duo, P-Square, made up of twin brothers Peter (Mr P) and Paul Okoye (Rudeboy), shocked fans once again by announcing their split in 2024, just three years after reuniting. This latest fallout is due to personal and creative differences, leaving fans wondering if the brothers will ever reconcile.</p><p>Paul Okoye, known as Rudeboy, publicly confirmed the split, revealing that the disagreement was fueled by ongoing personal issues between the two brothers. He also accused Peter of using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to have him and their older brother, Jude Okoye, arrested.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Peter Okoye Responds to the Accusations</strong></h3><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="African Music" border="0" data-original-height="386" data-original-width="686" height="360" src="https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2024/11/Mr-P.jpg?fit=686%2C386&ssl=1" title="Mr P" width="640" /></div></div><p>In his response, Peter Okoye, or Mr P, denied all of Rudeboy’s claims. He accused Paul of trying to turn their fans against him and undermine his work. Peter strongly denied using the EFCC to target his brother, saying instead that Paul’s legal team had been focused on Jude and his wife. Peter suggested that they were the ones who had been running a secret company, which led to the legal issues.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Paul Okoye's EFCC Experience</strong></h3><p>Paul went on to share his experience with the EFCC. He claimed he was invited for questioning after Peter had reportedly sent a petition against him. During the investigation, the EFCC allegedly pulled up Paul’s bank statements, but they later cleared him of any wrongdoing, declaring him innocent.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Why P-Square Split in 2016 and Reunited in 2021</span></strong></h2><p>The brothers' 2024 breakup is just the latest chapter in their long history of tension. P-Square first split in 2016 due to disagreements over their roles and family disputes. The brothers had different views on how to manage their careers, especially with their older brother, Jude, serving as their manager. Despite their differences, the duo reunited in 2021, giving fans hope for a possible comeback.</p><p>However, their reunion was short-lived. In 2024, they once again parted ways after unresolved issues resurfaced, leading Paul to announce the split publicly.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Moving Forward: What’s Next for Mr P and Rudeboy?</span></strong></h2><p>Since their latest breakup, both Mr P and Rudeboy have continued with their solo music careers. Mr P, with his recent hit <em>"Winning,"</em> and Rudeboy, with his own successful releases, have both carved out independent paths. However, fans are left wondering if P-Square will ever come back together, or if the brothers are better off pursuing their solo careers.</p></div>
