Member of hiplife music group VVIP and the ‘originator’ of the genre, Reggie Rockstone, has spoken out on the perceptions held of him and why he believes people are mistaken in judging him.
Reggie, speaking to the Graphic Showbiz, said that he believes since Ghanaians are not used to assertive and confident personalities, thus anyone who exhibits those character traits is then characterised as being ‘too known’.
The race to December 7 is on and the fight to keep Ghana in one piece is being embraced by several artists, with peace concerts and campaigns becoming pretty much the order of the day.
The latest to announce an upcoming peace concert is Bhim Nation head honcho Stonebwoy.
Sensational music group VVIP remains evergreen even as the years go by, and somehow they never get tired of dropping hits.
Their latest is a collaboration with the Nigerian singer Patoranking, dropped August 1 and titled ‘Alhaji’.
VVIP’s Prodigal is pissed as f*ck at ‘dancehall king’ Shatta Wale for planning an event at Nima on Sallah day close to theirs that threatens to overshadow their own event.
Wednesday is the Eid al-Fitr holiday, when the Muslim holy month of Ramadan comes to an end. In Nima, an annual concert is held where various up and coming artists perform alongside some heavyweights and get to showcase their talents.
If you want to talk about an underutilised portion of our industry, this is it.
Biopics are a big deal in the US and other parts of the world with developed entertainment industries. There’s nothing like telling the hyperbolic stories of how our cult heroes overcame all adversity to get to the stage they are now.
Eshun, the 2013 Glo X-Factor West Africa Runner Up has unleashed a brand new song – ‘NOWAY’ featuring VVIP. The song is her fourth single off her eagerly anticipated debut album and was produced by PossiGee. Take a listen below… Pleasantly surprised. Never expected such a slayage from Eshun. ‘No Way’ has an infectious tune … Read more
It doesn’t seem like the controversy surrounding the transformation of VIP to VVIP will end anytime soon— despite the fact that legendary Ghanaian musician-Reggie Rockstone who has now joined the long standing Ghanaian musical group has on many occasions detached himself from the reasons why Promzy left the group.
After Promzy who was part of the formation of the group exited, paving way for discussions which obviously led to Reggie Rockstone’s entry, we’ve heard several allegations of foul play—and according to a new report, Reggie Rockstone teamed up with Joseph Nana Ofori (Prodigal) and Abdul Hamid Ibrahim (Lazy now Zeal) to KICK Promzy out so the former could make his grand entry.
The Clock Newspaper wrote that;
“According to Promzy, everything was well with him and his “brothers” until Reggie Rockstone came into the picture, “we were cool and had made plans for a new project we were about to get underway only for me to hear that I had been replaced by Reggie” he noted.
Promzy, who could not hold back his tears during the entire period of the interview challenged his former group members to produce his resignation letter if they claim he resigned or left the group on his own, “where is the resignation letter, ask Reggie to produce the resignation letter that paved way for him to join the group” he said while shedding tears, insisting that the God father of hiplife was the one behind his fallout from the legendary hip hife group, VIP.”
GhanaCelebrities.Com spoke to Zeal (formerly known as Lazy) in relation to the above publication—and he said, ‘there is no truth in it.’
Zeal said; ‘Promzy had on many occasions come to us, wanting to leave the group and embark on a solo career. And we had on many occasional talked him into seeing the positive side in staying together as group. However, before he even came to us this last time, he had already started his own solo career with a recording.’
