Rudeboy Slams Upcoming Artistes’ Reliance On Drugs

Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, has taken a swipe at upcoming artistes for their perceived shortcuts to stardom. In an Instagram story, the veteran artiste questioned the trend of holding marijuana and alcohol close to the microphone in the studio, seemingly mocking the notion that this propels one to fame.

Rudeboy’s sarcastic remark, “Abeg!! Who told these upcoming artistes that holding Igbo (Marijuana) and drinking close to the microphone in the studio means you’ve made it? Who? How?” has sparked a lively debate in the music industry.

The singer’s critique appears to be aimed at the ‘copycat’ mentality of some emerging artistes who mimic the actions of established stars without focusing on their craft. Rudeboy’s comment has resonated with many who believe that true success comes from dedication, hard work, and originality, rather than superficial gestures.
