KSA isn’t your uncle, he’s your grandpa: Reactions trail Ayra Starr’s apology

Social media users have continued to react differently to the apology tendered by Grammy Award-nominated artist, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, popularly known as Ayra Starr, after a video of her seemingly disrespecting the Juju maestro went viral on the internet.

Tribune Online reports that the 21-year-old took to her verified X account on Saturday to apologize after she was captured extending her hands to greet King Sunny Ade at the Afrozobs Pre-Grammy party presented by Heineken.

Apologising over the development, Ayra Starr tweeted, “I’m so sorry , I had just walked in and all the lights and nerves didn’t let me see but i came back around to greet everyone properly, I have never been that girl to be disrespectful, I’m a proper Yoruba girlllll and the video didn’t start until after I’d greeted burna’s mom ! I’m very sorry to the legend, uncle and King Sunny Ade.”

Mixed reactions have, however, continued to trail the apology. While some berated her for addressing the music legend as uncle, others praised the “Rush” crooner for owning up to her mistake and tendering an apology.

P-Square feud returns as Paul Okoye claims ownership of Peter’s new single

In a rather shocking turn of events, Rudeboy has claimed ownership of Mr. P’s new single ‘Winning’ released on November 8, 2024.

Peter Okoye AKA Mr. P who is one half of the legendary music duo has released a new 2-pack EP with the songs ‘Winning’ and ‘Attention’ and the former has now become a subject of dispute among the brothers.

In a shocking post on his Instagram, Paul Okoye AKA Rudeboy has claimed ownership of ‘Winning’ while also uploading the demo version to back his claim in what is the latest chapter in their ongoing feud.

“Song title : WINNING

Written and sang by RUDEBOY

Produced by same producer.

NOW HOW COME ? NOW AM I SUPPOSE TO RELEASE ANOTHER VERSION? Mr Producer your case na for another day …

Just a simple thing : Bring 6 song let me bring 6 song … submitted my 6 songs to the so called management. why re-singing my own song word for word 🤷🏾‍♂️ Song that was sopos to be in my album next year June,” the caption reads in pidgin English.

According to Rudeboy, he submitted ‘Winning’ as one of the six songs he wrote for the now-cancelled P-Square reunion album. The song appears to be a message to the dueling brothers who continue to disregard fans’ and stakeholders’ calls to settle their differences.

Rudeboy continued his outburst on his Instagram story where he said the days of manipulations are over while warning that he will continue to release the demo of any songs written by him.

‘Winning’ has now taken an ironic turn as the song that calls for peace has become the subject of a new dispute of intellectual theft between the brothers.

Mr. P has yet to react to Rudeboy’s claim in the public dispute between the brothers, who have been at loggerheads for nearly a decade.

Earlier in the year, the Okoye brothers including their older brother and former Manager Jude took to social media to share their sides of the story on the infamous EFCC case allegedly instituted by Peter against his brothers over what he claimed was mismanagement of funds.
