It was supposed to be a happy week for Nigerian music star Paul Okoye, better known as Rudeboy of P-Square. Just days earlier, he was showering his young wife, Ifeoma, with love on her 25th birthday, posting videos of the celebration that fans quickly shared across social media. But the festive mood did not last long.
On September 24, an X user identified as @chubbiedivah, with the reported name Ayomide Agboola, dropped a bombshell post that shook the internet. The user accused Rudeboy of raping and coercing a domestic staff member. The tweet, timestamped around 2:23 p.m. that day, spread like wildfire. Screenshots began circulating, and within hours, the accusation was trending.
Rudeboy did not stay silent. He fired back directly on X the same day with a scathing response, warning that he would hunt down the accuser and make her a “scapegoat.” He made it clear that he would not treat the allegation lightly and threatened immediate legal action against the user behind the post.
The singer’s response only fueled more chatter. Fans and critics alike debated whether celebrities should engage directly with anonymous online accusers or leave matters to the courts. Some praised his quick and bold clapback, saying no one should play with such a serious allegation. Others argued that his words sounded more like intimidation than accountability.
By the next day, things took another twist. The account that made the accusation went dark. Posts became unavailable, and reports confirmed that the page was either deactivated or locked. That sudden disappearance sparked even more speculation. Was the user backing down under pressure, or had they simply vanished to avoid legal heat?
Several Nigerian blogs and entertainment outlets picked up the story between September 24 and 26, amplifying both the original claim and Rudeboy’s fiery response. On Instagram and X, the controversy became the talk of the town. Radio personality Do2dtun even weighed in, warning about the dangers of throwing reckless allegations into the public space without evidence.
Despite all the noise, one thing is clear, as of September 27, there is no record of an official police report or court filing against Rudeboy. What exists is the allegation on X, the singer’s public vow to sue, and the swift disappearance of the accusing account. Whether Rudeboy actually pursues the legal route or lets the matter die down is something fans and critics will be watching closely.
This isn’t the first time a Nigerian celebrity has had to battle damaging claims online, and it likely won’t be the last. In an age where a single tweet can shatter reputations in seconds, the line between truth and gossip is becoming increasingly blurred. For Rudeboy, the fight may not just be about clearing his name, it could be about sending a warning shot to anyone who thinks scandalous allegations can be thrown around without consequence.
One thing is certain: social media doesn’t forget. Even if the original account is gone, the screenshots remain, and so does the buzz. For a star like Rudeboy, with millions of fans and critics watching, this saga has already left its mark and the ripple effects may linger longer than anyone expects.
