Paul Okoye Announces ₦10 Million Condition For Prospective Signee

Paul Okoye, better known by his stage name Rude Boy, is a Nigerian musician who has set strict guidelines for new artists he wants to sign to Fire Department Inc.

According to Naija News, Rudeboy and his twin brother Peter Okoye created the legendary group Psquare.

 Two years later, the group disbanded, and Rudeboy started Fire Department Inc. The couple got back together in November 2021, but their reconciliation didn’t last long because they have been fighting recently.

In an Instagram Live session, Rudeboy said some Nigerian artistes develop a sense of entitlement when they achieve fame and claim they do not need a record label.

The day I catch you dey smoke one thing as my artiste, minus N10 million. That is why if you continue asking me when I am going to sign artistes I will tell you I do not know.”
