In a statement titled 'What has Soundcity ever done for P-Square?' which they shared on their website a few minutes ago following Peter Okoye's outburst on Twitter today, the music station said they stopped airing PSquare's music video since January this year & explained why. Read below

For 10 Years, @SoundcityTV has been a huge supporter of #PSquare and the #PSquare brand, right from their 1st music video to the last video released in 2014. Most of their videos got massive airplay on @SoundcityTV than any other music channel.

@SoundcityTV viewers sometimes complain about the dominance of #PSquare videos on the channel & charts. We were a huge supporter and gave everything to their works.

We have assisted the #PSquare brand, toured with them over Africa at our expense. Gave them ad-spots for their events / projects. Gave them prime time slots for their videos and included them in our array of Programmes / programming.

We invited #PSquare to one of our annual events last December 2014 and they insisted we pay a certain amount of money. We reasonably asked, what is the least we can offer?; this was us foregoing the fact that we had invested a lot in #PSquare’s career as music talents / artistes & entertainers.

The feedback was, “WHAT HAS SOUNDCITY EVER DONE FOR PSQUARE? TELL ME ONE THING SOUNDCITY HAS EVER DONE FOR PSQUARE” (Jude Okoye, Manager).

While we understand that this is business, there is also room for special consideration. Saying our TV brand has never done anything for #PSquare was quite damning. Clearly, there was no need to argue with their decision and reasoning. We decided to stop ‘doing anything’ with/for #PSquare, since our 10years of supporting the group meant nothing to them. We assumed our relationship was a mutually beneficial one, but clearly one-sided.

Ultimately, #PSquare music videos stopped airing on @SoundcityTV since January 01, 2015. Soundcity reserves the right to air music videos on our cable / satellite or terrestrial platforms.

Overall, we wish the duo the best in their endeavours. @SoundcityTV will keep airing works of the best and upcoming Nigerian artistes, and also, the best #African artistes to the world, especially nurturing their talents from inception till they become huge megastars and international superstars.
Thank you.

SoundCity should relax..


That's what happens when a Nigga's start getting paid.


Airing an Artistes works can never be understated in terms of importance.

Many younglings on the streets are still hussling hard to get air play.

Hmmm, guess soundcity was trying to take their pound of flesh

I call it publicity

Igbo's can only compete with the Hausa in terms of riches.
Yoruba is just a shitty tribe, on the same level with the fulani.
We the igbo guys will continue buying all your lands & in 2019 there will be no more Yoruba.
As for the Yoruba girls, they're all ugly & their pusssy smells, so Igbo guys don't want them.

I just want to see how the igbo boys will bash Kestolove95

This is pure business.
Conductors rule No 1 in Lagos: Pay Correct Money to avoid Problem with the Conductor
The above sticker is found in virtually every Danfo in Lagos.

You helped P-Square by featuring their music and they helped you by increasing your viewership - its a win win for both parties, both SoundCity and P-Square are not into charity.

Soundcity should gerrarahia mhen!!
We didn't even notice that they don't play P-square songs because we get enough from other stations and from youtube, they can whine all they want.
So when an artist spend his money and everything to record songs and make videos, he should come and do show free of charge for you just because you play his songs?? you are even supposed to pay him for playing his songs because that is what attracts viewers to your station.
They are just a bunch of entitled idiotas looking to reap where they have not sown.


Ride on P square, I support you totally!!!

Psquare needs to grow up and make good music. Hope they know they are married with kids.
When they do, they will be welcomed back to Soundcity.

ITS NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY, BUT GOOD MUSIC

#Enoughofnonsensemusic

Interesting.

what's doing this one?

Kudos to Soundcity for their honesty and professional response.

I concur absolutely with the reasons given; and their exclusive rights to air any video of their choice.

Sometimes, life is not always about what you must get in return. Sometimes a little sacrifice is the best form of gratitude. Sometimes your best partners are the silent ones at the backhouse who support us at no fee but we often take for granted.

My 2 cents!

Ok naa

Typical of a poor man. Soundcity is just a Noisecity...a set of frustrated, beggarly individuals trying to reap where they did not sow. Hustlers. Psquare can't fucck with you.

Sound city promoted your brand right from the blast and that's enough favor on there path.

Psquare mess up big time for this one.

You are allergic to common sense!

Since I joined nairaland early this year, you've only made sense once, and I congratulated you remember?

Hw can this bringbackourgirls? Abeg make i hear word jare.

That is Change!

Kestolove95 You are the real definition of a Lunatic.

There's no Yoruba State better than any Igbo State.

As for Lagos, It's a no man's Land
