Ivy Ifeoma, the girlfriend of Nigerian singer, Paul Okoye, stirred mixed reactions after posting a birthday message for 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.
