He pointed out that, back in the day, musicians didn't stay in the game for too long.

 The 45-year-old singer also shared his struggles with balancing family life and being a rockstar, admitting it's getting tougher to do both.

Singer, Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy, has said he and some of his pairs are supposed to have retired from music by now.

The 45-year-old claimed that in the old order, musicians don’t stay active for long.

Speaking on the Adesope live show, Rudeboy said it’s difficult to combine being a family man with being an active musician.

“In the old ways of doing music, by now people like us suppose don retire,” he said.

“There’s always a time for everything in life. Things will always happen. If you are a celebrity and you think people will always see you like an angel, trust me you’re not going anywhere. There are times that something would be against you. It’s always like that.

“Every top artist has had their share of criticisms and scandals. Even the up-and-coming ones, too, will suffer the same fate someday. It’s a normal thing [in the entertainment industry]. But what matters is your personality and how you handle issues.”

Rudeboy, one half of the iconic P-Square duo, shot to stardom in the 2000s alongside his twin brother, Peter Okoye (aka Mr P).

 After a brief hiatus from 2016 to 2021, the brothers reunited, only to go their separate ways again in August 2024.
