September 10, 2015 SoundCity however were not going to back down from that tongue lashing, and went ahead to say that P-Square have not done anything for them. In an article posted on their website, they detailed some of the events that happened to escalate this sitituation to where it is now, and it started from a SoundCity Event in December 2014.
Here’s part of what was said in the article:
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. The also went on to say that they stopped airing P-Square videos in January 2015, and state that they reserve the right to air whichever videos they choose.
They also went on to post a video of an interview they had with P-Square in 2013.
Dear #SoundcityTV & #PSquare Fans, For 10 Years, @SoundcityTV has been a huge supporter of #PSquare… http://t.co/zUz5mKTXh8 —

Wow! Looks like this just boiled over unnecessarily and could’ve been ironed out much better.
