Ivy Ifeoma, girlfriend to singer, Paul Okoye, sparked controversy following birthday message to music executive, Jude Okoye, Paul’s older brother.
In her Instastory, Ivy posted a picture of Jude with the message:
“Happy belated birthday, Jude.”
While some netizens criticized Ivy for not showing respect to the 46-year-old by calling him by his name, others argued that her post did not imply disrespect.
