Mixed reactions have followed Nigerian singer, Paul Okoye’s girlfriend, Ivy Ifeoma’s birthday message dedicated to his brother, music executive Jude Okoye.
Jude Okoye entered a new era over the weekend and his friends, family, and colleagues took to social media to celebrate him with heartfelt messages.

Ivy Ifeoma, the newest member of the Okoye family due to her relationship with Paul, also went online to celebrate his birthday.
The 22-year-old model shared a photo of the record label boss on her InstaStory and captioned it, “Happy Belated Birthday, Jude”.
That didn’t sit well with many, who criticized her for showing no respect to the 46-year-old music director, despite their age difference, by calling him by his name.
However, others said that there was nothing wrong with her message because it didn’t mean she doesn’t respect him in real life.
