Members of multiple award-winning hip-life group, VVIP, say they hold no grudges against former colleague Promzy, and would welcome his return if he so wishes.
Promzy, real name Emmanuel Ababio, left the group to pursue a solo career back in 2013.
Addressing Promzy’s departure from the group, Prodigal revealed that though many fans of the then
VIP were shocked, he and Zeal who had formed the group were not because it was bound to happen.
“He came up and said he wanted to go solo. It’s something he had always wanted to do for long time which we tried in many ways to stop him. It got to a time things went out of hand and he wanted to go solo. As grown men, we had to understand him.”
“Promzy’s departure wasn’t a big surprise to us. Our fans were disappointed but now, they’ve gotten used to it because it is music. The more you give them good music, they forget about what happened in the past,” he added.
His departure from the group paved way for the inclusion of hip-life legend Reggie Rockstone into the rebranded ‘VVIP’, a decision which drew all manner of controversies and backlash from Promzy and fans of VIP.
However, Prodigal, in the interview has stated that Promzy would be received with open arms whenever he makes an approach to return to the group.
“Promzy is always welcome to the group. If he calls today that he wants to come back, he’s always welcome back to the group because we started the whole movement with him.”
“We hustled together, walking from studio to studio together,” Prodigal stated.
The group which began in the 90’s has always been characterized with hits after hits. It originally started with five Nima-based friends – Bone, Friction, Lazzy (now Zeal), Promzy and Prodigal.
