Nigeria – Ossai Success, former aide to Delta State’s ex-Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, has publicly criticized Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, known as RudeBoy, for alleged disrespect towards his in-laws during a recent traditional marriage introduction ceremony. Paul, who divorced his first wife Anita in 2022, shared photos of the event on Instagram, drawing congratulations from fans and colleagues.
One photo showed Paul wearing a red cap while receiving blessings from an elderly man. Success condemned this action, stating that it showed disrespect towards the elder, who is also Paul’s in-law. Success argued that Paul should have removed his cap out of respect for the elder and the prayer being offered, highlighting a perceived lack of respect among today’s youth, often attributed to wealth.
Success’s remarks reflect broader concerns about cultural etiquette and respect, particularly in ceremonies involving elders and family traditions.
