Psquare Plans to Get A Private Jet Of Their Own

       


So Psquare’s ‘Alingo’ video was banned? I wasn’t aware, not until I saw what one of the brothers said something about it, “We heard about the ban. But when they ban a particular song, they are indeed helping to promote that song. By the way, if they ban a song from being broadcast in Nigeria stations, will they stop MTV, Channel O, Soundcity and other cable networks from playing the same song? It’s not possible”, said peter Okoye, one of the brothers that formed Psquare.

He is actually right, trust Nigerians, as they've banned the video, Nigerians will continue to watch it to their full. But, I don’t get it, why did they ban it in the first place???

He later explained why they did a dance video out of the song ‘Alingo’, “Psquare for the past five years hasn’t done any dance video and our fans expected to see something of that nature from us. So, ‘Alingo’ was just the first song we had even before the ‘Invasion’ album came out. We didn’t take the song seriously until when our fans started loving it. And before we knew what was happening, it caught fire. We had no choice than to give our fans a video,”

He continued, “When the song started picking up, we thought it is important to give our fans something they have never gotten from Psquare in the past five years. The last time we did something similar to this, ‘Roll it’ was over five years ago. It took us a lot of time and energy to produce the album. 
Our senior brother, Jude who is also our manager shot the video. Interestingly, most people didn’t know that the video was shot in Nigeria. We went to an abandoned warehouse situated some ten minutes away from our Lagos residence to shoot the video.”

Peter also spoke about Akon, Konvict Musik record label and their love for Africa,

“Our relationship with Akon is great. We have known Akon for over six years but we were not looking forward to working with him until last two years when he attended our concert in London. After watching us perform on stage, he developed interest in working with us
Then he was planning to open a branch of his Konvict Musik record label in Africa and he was in need of business partners who would help him coordinate the business. That was how we teamed up with him to establish Konvict Musik in Nigeria. We are representing Akon in Africa just as he is representing in America. That’s the whole idea.”

Peter also addressed the rumour that Psquare owns a private jet....

“There was nothing like that. I guess because it was included in our list that whenever we are going for a specific show, the organisers must provide us with a private jet. We had a deal with a private Jet Company which always hire their private jet to us whenever we are in need of it. It’s like we have a private jet at our disposal. I remember, I once tweeted that a private jet has been included in our list.
That was how people started speculating that Psquare has bought a private jet. But we always travel with the jet all the time. To be honest with you, the way things are going, we are planning to buy one, and it’s not because of the cost implication of hiring a private jet, but the fact that we want to meet up with our concerts.”

Kudos to them........
