P-Square set to sign Ghana star, Predy X, As May D’s replacement?

Barely two months after parting ways with May D, Square Records and Northside Entertainment is said to be closing in on a young Ghanaian Afro-Pop singer, Predy X, known in real life as Samuel Omane-Mensah.

Square Records, who parted ways with May D over “irreconcilable differences”, is keen on getting the highly-rated Ghanaian youngster into its fold.

According to sources close to CEO of Square Records and Northside Entertainment, Jude ‘Engees’ Okoye, the deal was expected to be concluded in the “coming days”.

Bayo Adetu, publicist for Square Records, which features the talented music duo P-Square, is reported to have told a Nigerian magazine, Entertainment Today that their pursuit of Predy X was due to his versatile music talent.

Asked how they discovered Predy X, the Square label publicist was reported to have said that “a top producer” mentioned him in a discussion; therefore the management of the label assessed him and decided to give him a chance.

Samuel Omane-Mensah aka Predy X, who is signed on to X Entertainment, is expected to move his base to Nigeria to agree to terms of Square Records, with the latter keen on avoiding the same mistake that led to its separation with May D. Source

Square Records, record label of Nigerian music duo, P-Square has refuted reports that the label is on the verge of signing Ghanaian artiste, Predy X Gtwo.

News vent viral earlier this week that the label, which parted ways with its only signing, May D, some months ago, was about to sign the young Ghanaian artiste who is yet have an album to his credit.

Square Image Associates, Publicist for P-Square said in a statement that there is no iota of truth to the story and that it has been fabricated to acquire attention.

Since May D, who featured on the duo’s smash hit Chop My Money with Akon, left the label, Square Records has not signed any artiste till date.

Below is the statement:

"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Our attention has been drawn to a false claim that the publicist of Square Records said that the respected record label have plans to sign a Ghanaian artiste. We want to use this medium to say that there is no iota of truth in the fabricated report.

At no time did any representative of Square Image Associates (P-Square’s Publicist) or Square Records speak to anybody about any artiste in Nigeria, let alone Ghana.

The report is simply the handiwork of some lazy amateurs, whose intention is to get undue attention by spreading baseless information. Members of the public and fans of P-Square are hereby advised to ignore the rumour.

Thank you.
