Nigerian singer and music star Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy of the defunct music duo P-Square, has stirred widespread reactions on social media following a controversial comment about feminists. 

The award-winning artiste, who is also the twin brother of Peter Okoye, took to his Instagram story to share a thought that many online users have described as provocative and debatable.

In the now-viral post, Paul Okoye openly questioned the age range of feminists, suggesting a pattern he claims to have observed over time. According to the singer, “Why are feminists always above 30? And they always believe they have inner beauty”. The statement immediately caught the attention of fans, critics, and social commentators, sparking intense discussions across various platforms.

While some followers interpreted the remark as a harmless personal observation, others viewed it as dismissive and unfair, especially toward women who identify as feminists. Feminism, which broadly advocates for gender equality and women’s rights, has long been a sensitive and widely debated topic, and Paul Okoye’s comments have once again brought it to the forefront of public discourse.

Social media users have since shared mixed reactions. Some supporters defended the singer, arguing that he was merely expressing an opinion and exercising freedom of speech. Others, however, criticized the tone of the message, stating that it reinforces stereotypes and undermines the diversity within feminist movements. Many pointed out that feminism cuts across age groups and is not limited to a specific demographic.

As of the time of writing, Paul Okoye has not provided further clarification or follow-up regarding his statement. Nonetheless, the post has continued to generate engagement, with screenshots circulating widely online and fueling conversations about celebrity influence, gender discussions, and accountability on social media.

Paul Okoye is no stranger to controversy, as the singer often shares unfiltered opinions on personal and social issues. However, this latest comment has once again highlighted how public figures’ statements can quickly become viral topics, especially when they touch on sensitive societal matters.
