- Paul Okoye has fired back in response to the interview given by his senior colleague, Eedris Abdulkareem, who dredged up a grievance from 2004.
- Abdulkareem had alleged that Psquare was among the artists 50 Cent roughed up backstage during the event
Paul Okoye, one half of the legendary Psquare, has taken a swipe at his senior colleague, Eedris Abdulkareem, for badmouthing him and his brother Peter Okoye, and stirring up old drama in a recent interview about a 2004 concert.
Abdulkareem, in a recent interview, claimed that the Nigerian Breweries staged a concert in 2004 and invited American singer, 50 Cent.
He further alleged that certain Nigerian artists faced physical altercations backstage during the event, with Psquare supposedly among the affected.
In response, Okoye swiftly refuted Abdulkareem’s narrative, accusing him of fabricating stories. He made it crystal clear that Psquare wasn’t among the artists who received an invite to the concert.
In the video, Okoye lashed out at the rapper who had undergone a kidney transplant, suggesting that they should have beaten him more thoroughly on that particular day. He expressed disbelief that someone of his age would stoop to making such derogatory comments.
Rudeboy questioned why Abdulkareem would bring up Psquare in his interview.
In his clip, Paul Okoye claimed that Psquare was still young at that time. He mentioned that they were the G Zen of the music industry during that era.
The singer commended new music artists for their resilience in navigating the industry independently, without relying on external support.
