Nigerian music sensation Paul Okoye, widely known as Rudeboy, has announced his firm intention to pursue legal action against an X (formerly Twitter) user who publicly accused him of sexually assaulting a domestic worker. This serious allegation has ignited a significant online debate and drawn widespread attention across social media platforms.

The controversy began with a post from another X user, @darkskinnedtemi,who initially suggested that Rudeboy had engaged in infidelity with a housemaid during his marriage to his ex-wife. Following this, a user identified as Ayomide Agoola, operating under the handle @chubbiedivah,escalated the accusations by directly claiming the singer had “raped/coerced their domestic help.” Agoola’s post further speculated on the vulnerability of the alleged victim, suggesting she was “most likely wayyyy younger” and questioning how she “could say no” given her position.

Rudeboy swiftly responded to these grave allegations on Wednesday via his X account. He issued a stern warning to @chubbiedivah,stating that he would deploy his “power, resources and money” to locate her and ensure she faces the full force of the law. The “Reason With Me” crooner explicitly stated his intent to use her case as an “example” or a “scapegoat” for others. He conveyed that her only escape would be to “leave the surface of this earth and relocate to space,” while also thanking those who brought the tweet to his attention.

The singer's strong reaction prompted a diverse range of responses from social media users. Many expressed support for Rudeboy, advocating for legal recourse in the face of potentially defamatory claims. Conversely, a significant number of commentators voiced concerns for the safety of the accuser, urging her to publicize any threats to her life to seek protection. There were also calls for the initiation of defamation lawsuits if the allegations proved to be baseless. Reports from various online threads and community boards indicated that Ayomide Agoola’s X account was deactivated shortly after the intense online confrontation.
