Rude Boy Sets Strict Terms for Signing Artists to His Label
Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, also known as Rude Boy, has set strict conditions for signing new artists to his record label, Fire Department Inc. Launched in 2019, two years after the breakup of Psquare—a group he formed with his twin brother Peter Okoye—Fire Department Inc. has yet to sign any artists. Although the brothers briefly reunited in November 2021, tensions have since resurfaced.
During an Instagram Live session, Rude Boy expressed frustration with some Nigerian artists who, after achieving fame, develop a sense of entitlement and claim they no longer need a record label. He stated that any aspiring artist wishing to join his label must meet stringent requirements, including providing guarantees such as landed property and having their parents co-sign a binding contract. Additionally, he warned that any artist caught smoking would face a N10 million fine. Rude Boy emphasized that these conditions are the reason he has yet to sign any new artists.
Nigerian singer Spyro speaks on his values, morals, and how he applies them to his work.
He shared that when shooting music videos, he does not tolerate certain things because they do not align with his beliefs.
“You can’t be in a video with me and you’re smoking. That can’t happen. You can’t be in a video with me and you’re naked. That won’t happen. I have rules and regulations for working with people.
“I can’t be on a song that is not clean, to start with. Shoday, give your life to Christ. I said, ‘Shoday, give your life to Christ.’ He said I should continue mine while he focuses on his. Even if he’s not with Christ, he’s coming to Christ. That’s why I’m in this industry. It’s a gradual process.”
Babcock University makes headlines as it speaks regarding content creator Carter Efe, who claimed that he studied at the school and graduated with a first-class degree.
When asked for proof, he shared a certificate that stated “First Class Upper.” However, the university has now spoken out, stating that the certificate is not from the school and is forged.
“Babcock University does not issue ‘Honorary Certificates’ in recognition of undergraduate academic performance. Academic excellence, including the award of First Class Honours, is formally recognized only through the University’s official degree certificate and academic transcript issued by the Office of the Registrar.”
“There is no academic classification or degree known to Babcock University as ‘First Class Upper.’ The recognized classification is First Class Honours.”
