“By now people like us don suppose retire” – Paul Okoye “Rudeboy”
Singer Paul Okoye, known as Rudeboy, stated that he and some of his contemporaries should have retired from music by now.
The 45-year-old noted that, traditionally, musicians don’t remain active for long. During an appearance on the Adesope Live show, Rudeboy mentioned that balancing family life with an active music career is challenging.
“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.”
