Paul Okoye breaks silence since marriage crash


Nigerian recording artiste, Paul Okoye better known as Rudeboy, has spoken about his fallout with his wife, Anita Okoye who is seeking a divorce seven years into their marriage.

Fans and music lovers were stunned when it was reported that the wife of the Nigerian musician, Anita Okoye, filed for a divorce, despite having three children for him.

Rudeboy added that the public should also allow the “Okoye family to enjoy the peace” they’re currently witnessing.

Speaking about the ongoing conundrum in his family, Paul OKoye stated;

“I hate waking up anytime and just see people saying things you know. Whatever that happens is just a thing of choice and one thing you need to do is to try and respect people that wake up one day and say they don’t want to do anymore, okay.

“Like I always tell people, it is such an unfortunate family problem which I think is nobody’s business to know, but it’s so unfortunate that Psquare has to pay the price for it.”

“I still do standup comedy but not with great energy because I’m targeting all-around entertainment now. My competition is me.

“There’s nothing [like a feud] between AY and I, he said.

“He came in my space; messed with loyalty by saying something to my lawyer Magnus that I told him in private.

“It was nothing but it was enough to cause a rift and have me put up the walls.

“We made peace and he apologized.

“I have no single problem with AY as claimed.

We don’t talk.”
