Soundcity TV replies Peter Okoye

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, (read here) 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.

I feel Psquare have forgotten that sound city has been with them from the start and has helped build their career. They ask you what is the least they can offer to pay and you either call a figure or offer to do it for free cause you OWE them. #dontforgetwhereyoucomefrom

Generally I think square as a group are very stingy and has nothing to offer rather they keep taking from us the masses because we are the ones buying their junk music ....Take for example the dancer that has been dancing for them all this years ,they still haven't helped that guy stand as a man rather they take him from country to country dancing for peanut if they were good they would have made that guy alright now ,it tells you how stingy they are...I don't like them much
