Singer Paul Okoye, better known as Rudeboy, has declared his support for his elder brother Jude Okoye, following his arraignment by the EFCC.

On Wednesday, February 26, 2025, Jude was arraigned by the EFCC before Justice Alexander Owoeye of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on a seven-count charge of allegedly laundering N1.38 billion, $1million and £34,537.59.

Paul took to his social media page to express his support, believing that this too shall pass and asked his brother to "stay strong". Paul, who did not mention any name, said that this was what someone wanted all along.

Peter Okoye, who is a twin to Paul, in 2024 revealed that he had filed a petition with the EFCC after discovering that his brother Jude Okoye had opened a "secret company" and was diverting funds from their joint company to it.

Jude, who was also the former manager of the defunct group P-Square, refutes the claim that his company was secret. While he and his brothers have a joint company, they all have their own private companies, with Peter owning P-Classic and Paul owning Rude Boy Record.
