Nigerian music star Paul Okoye, better known as Rudeboy of the legendary duo Psquare, has sparked discussions across social media with a bold statement declaring that he and his twin brother, Peter Okoye, created some of the best and most valuable songs in Africa.
Speaking openly about Psquare’s legacy, Rudeboy emphasized that their music has stood the test of time, with many of their hits from as far back as 2005, 2008, and 2012 remaining relevant and widely celebrated today.
“I and my brother sang the best songs in Africa,” Rudeboy asserted, proudly defending the duo’s musical contribution to the continent.
His comments were not intended to discredit the current generation of artists, he clarified, but rather to draw attention to what he sees as a key difference in the longevity and substance of music across eras. He pointed out that while today’s music often fades within a few months of its release, Psquare’s songs continue to resonate with fans across generations.
Rudeboy also expressed concerns about the lyrical content of modern music, noting that many recent songs are not suitable for family listening, particularly around children. In contrast, Psquare’s tracks, according to him, have always appealed to a wide range of audiences, from different age groups and cultures, making their music both family-friendly and timeless.
With his remarks going viral, many fans have come forward to support Rudeboy, hailing Psquare as one of Africa’s greatest music acts and reaffirming their place in the continent’s rich musical history.
