Social Media went crazy after Peter Okoye, one half of the super singing duo P-Square, responded on twitter
to a complaint from a fan regarding the absence of their content on Tv Music Channel Soundcity Tv.


Check the below Tweets from peter and a detailed response from Soundcity TV in what looks like a disagreement that has been silently ongoing for the
past 8-9 months.


So Peter replied a fan’s comment on twitter some hours back:

And then went on to tweet the next few screenshots. . .

Soundcity didn’t waste much time with a response, they posted a detailed account of why they have not played any P-Square content since 1st January 2015 in a write up posted on their website. WOW!

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.”


What do you guys think? Who’s in the wrong?

I go with sound city on this. This is business. P square felt they should pay a certain amount for a show and went forward to display the arrogance I have always felt they have by givin a damning assessment saying sound city have never done anything for them. That's a wrong statement as if they have beef for them before. What about all their songs they have always aired even without collecting a dime from them. P square should not forget its the media that made them popular. They have treated their business and I think sound city is also right to treat theirs. I go with sound city 100%
