Rudeboy’s Truth: ‘In Old Ways, Musicians Supposed to Retire by Now’
Rudeboy, one half of the renowned P-Square duo, has stirred the music world by sharing his thoughts on the lifespan of artists. Speaking on the Adesope Live Show, the 45-year-old singer said that in the past, musicians didn’t typically stay active in the music industry for an extended period.
“Everybody’s not supposed to be like us anymore,” Rudeboy explained, highlighting that people in the entertainment industry don’t remain successful forever. “It’s a normal thing to face criticism and scandals,” he added, stressing that handling these situations effectively is what matters.
The “Focus” crooner has been active in the music industry for over two decades, with P-Square splitting in 2016 only to reunite in 2021. Tragedy struck again in August 2024 when the group disbanded due to accusations of fund diversion between his twin brother, Mr P, and their former manager, Jude Okoye.
Rudeboy’s admission adds fuel to the debate about the transience of music careers, highlighting the pressures faced by artists as they balance their professional lives with personal ones. It also sparks curiosity about what lies ahead for this iconic Nigerian singer. As Rudeboy continues to navigate the ups and downs of his career, his fans can only wait with bated breath for the next chapter in his story.
