Nigerian music star and member of the legendary duo P-Square, Paul Okoye (Rudeboy), has reacted furiously to a string of explosive allegations made against him on social media, vowing to track down the individual responsible and take decisive legal action. The singer, who has built a reputation for rarely responding to online controversies, stated that he would deploy every resource at his disposal to ensure that the accuser faces the consequences of what he described as malicious defamation.
The saga began shortly after photos from the 25th birthday celebration of Rudeboy’s wife, Ivy Ifeoma, went viral on X (formerly Twitter), sparking a heated debate among users about the couple’s relationship and their age difference. What initially started as light trolling from some feminists on the platform quickly escalated into damaging claims that have since triggered widespread outrage.
Allegations from Feminist Accounts
A user identified as @Zoyablooms, who brands herself an “Evil Feminist,” mocked Rudeboy for the noticeable age gap between himself and Ivy Ifeoma. Another feminist account, @darkskinnedtemi, escalated the matter by asking if Rudeboy had also cheated on his wife with their housemaid. The most serious claim, however, came from @chubbiedivah, who alleged that the singer had “raped/coerced their domestic help,” insisting that the woman could not have said no due to the power imbalance and her younger age. The user further claimed that when Rudeboy was allegedly exposed, he sent his wife and sister-in-law packing at the time.
These comments, particularly the last, quickly spread across the platform, sparking heated discussions and polarised opinions. While some dismissed the claims as baseless character assassination, others expressed concern, demanding clarification from the singer.
Rudeboy’s Fierce Response
Upon being alerted by his fans, Rudeboy wasted no time in issuing a fiery public response via his X account. Breaking his usual silence on such matters, he declared that he would not only track down the individual behind the defamatory post but also set a precedent to deter others from attempting similar attacks on his reputation. His words were unflinching:
“I hardly reply !!! But you see this one !!! @chubbiedivah if you like go private , leave X !! I will find you , I will use every necessary means , power , resources and money !!! You will face the law , I will use you to set an example!! (scapegoat )… your only way out is to leave the surface of this earth and relocate to space .. to everyone that brought my attention to her tweet … thank you 🙏🏾.”
Alleged Accuser Goes Offline
Within hours of Rudeboy’s statement gaining momentum online, the account belonging to @chubbiedivah vanished from both X and Instagram, with the user deactivating her pages. This move has been widely interpreted as an attempt to evade the fallout from her allegations and the legal actions Rudeboy has threatened to initiate.
Public Reactions
The incident has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians online. While many of Rudeboy’s fans have applauded his decision to pursue legal action, others urged caution, advising him to remain within the boundaries of the law.

UnkleAyo added: “In case you need her pictures so you can print big big ‘wanted’ banners, here you go. Before they beg you to forgive her, she called you – paedophile – yamayama nigga – rapist. No gree o.”
Ssaasquatch cautioned: “Paul, whatever you do, please keep it legal. Ignore anyone pushing you to ‘teach her a lesson’ outside the law. Don’t bully, don’t intimidate. If you must get your revenge, let it be strictly within the ambits of the law.”
Clems_Andy wrote: “You forgot one person @darkskinnedtemi She said with conviction that you cheated on your lovely and amiable wife with a housemaid who they insinuated is way more younger. Mr. Paul Okoye, I love you as a brother…Please take this up!”
As the controversy rages, Rudeboy’s vow to make an example out of the accuser has heightened anticipation about what legal steps he may take next. Observers note that the case could become a landmark moment in Nigeria’s ongoing debate about online defamation, freedom of speech, and accountability on social media platforms.
