Rudeboy Defends Nigerian Culture After Mr P's Remarks

Rudeboy reaffirmed his pride in Nigerian and Igbo culture following comments made by Mr P, who referred to Nigerian languages as "useless." On his X page, Rudeboy declared, "I’m a 'nobody'... without the culture, native language, the pride of a Nigerian," identifying himself as 100% proudly Nigerian and Igbo. He shared a clip from his song "Nkenji Keke," which celebrates Igbo culture through traditional attire, setting, and language.

While many fans praised Rudeboy for embracing his roots, some viewed his post as a subtle response to Mr P's remarks, which had drawn widespread criticism for suggesting that Nigerian languages offer little value in creating opportunities. Rudeboy and Mr P, who were part of the successful music duo P-Square, have pursued solo careers following public disagreements over family and management issues.
