Rudeboy denies sexual misconduct allegation, vows legal action

Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, professionally known as Rudeboy, has vowed to take legal action against a social media user who accused him of sexually molesting a former domestic worker.

Rudeboy has strongly denied the allegation, describing it as defamatory.

The controversy began after photos from the 25th birthday celebration of Rudeboy’s wife, Ivy Ifeoma, circulated on X. While discussions initially focused on the couple’s 18-year age gap, a social media user escalated the conversation by alleging that the singer “raped/coerced” a domestic worker, claiming she was “most likely wayyyy younger.” The user further alleged that Rudeboy sent his then-wife and sister-in-law out of the house when the matter was discovered.

The post quickly went viral, drawing widespread attention and reactions online.

Responding publicly on X, Rudeboy rejected the claims and warned he would hold the account holder accountable by “every necessary means.”

In his post, he wrote:

“@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!! … 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.”

Rudeboy’s response has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some supporting his right to pursue legal redress, while others expressed concern over the tone of his message.
