Singer Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy of the P-Square duo, has voiced his disappointment with emerging artists who smoke during music video shoots.
In a recent Instagram story, he questioned the necessity of smoking in videos, particularly when it appears to be done excessively, even before the music starts.
According to Paul, these artists often look unhealthy because they spend large sums of money on smoking but struggle to afford nutritious food.
He advised them to prioritise eating well rather than pretending that smoking is a form of swag or an attempt to look stylish.
According to him: “Dear new acts. Abeg, who tell una say whenever una dey shoot visualizer video, say una must dey smoke Igbo for camera. 20 sec music never start, you still dey light up. Well, na your choice oh, but make sure you dey eat well. At least, they chop better food, don’t tell me it’s swag or trying to look fly.
“You’re looking sick. You dey smoke around 50k dey battle Indomie of 1k without egg. Under pressure”.
He urged them to reassess their priorities and focus on their health and well-being rather than projecting a false image.
