'I'll use you as scapegoat' - Rudeboy vows legal action over defamatory allegations by X user

Nigerian music star Paul Okoye, known as Rudeboy of the duo P‑Square, has threatened legal action against a social‑media user who alleged misconduct involving a domestic staff member. The controversy began when photos from the 25th birthday celebration of Rudeboy’s wife, Ivy Ifeoma, were shared on X (formerly Twitter). An X user, @Zoyabloms, mocked the couple’s age difference, and another user, @darkskinnedtemi, added further claims. However, it was a post by @chubbiedivah that provoked a strong reaction from Rudeboy, as the user suggested he had engaged in inappropriate behavior with his housemaid, who was allegedly underage at the time, and claimed he had expelled his then‑wife and sister‑in‑law after being confronted.

Rudeboy’s fans drew his attention to the post, prompting him to respond swiftly. He vowed to track down the user and hold them accountable, stating he would use all necessary means, resources, and money to do so. The singer emphasized that the user would face the law and be made an example. Following Rudeboy’s response, the user deactivated both her X and Instagram accounts.

The incident highlights the potential consequences of making unsubstantiated allegations on social media and underscores the importance of verifying information before sharing it. Rudeboy’s music career has spanned over two decades, with P‑Square achieving significant success in the African music scene. Fans have reacted mixedly, some expressing support for the singer while others call for further investigation. The episode serves as a reminder of responsible social‑media use and the impact online allegations can have on individuals and their reputations. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Rudeboy will follow through with his threat of legal action and what consequences the user may face.
