Paul Okoye, widely recognized as Rudeboy from the former Nigerian Afrobeats group P-Square, experienced an onstage mishap during a live show in Perth, Australia. While delivering their classic track ‘Forever,’ he lost his footing and tumbled off the stage.
The incident quickly went viral, sparking a wave of reactions online. Many social media users pointed to his decision to wear dark sunglasses during the nighttime performance as a possible cause. Others linked the fall to his ongoing separation from his twin brother, Peter Okoye, with whom he had previously performed as P-Square.
As reported by DAILY POST, the Okoye brothers parted ways professionally amid disagreements over financial transparency, royalty issues, and management of their music catalog. This split has been a recurring topic among fans and critics alike.
Some of the comments on the video included observations like ‘Dark shades at night increase the chance of missing your step by 1000%,’ while another user joked that his twin would have laughed heartily, though noting it could happen to anyone. A particularly poignant remark noted that ‘Every single person in that crowd knows only P-Square, not Mr P or Rudeboy.’ Others speculated that performing alone might have contributed, with one comment stating, ‘If they were two, he wouldn’t have fallen.’ A different perspective suggested that perhaps he was out of practice, as he hasn’t performed on stage in a while. Another humorous take claimed, ‘His twin will soon change Australia’s national anthem.’
