Just when Africa and fans of Peter and Paul Okoye aka P-Square, all over the world are still rejoicing over their supposed acquisition of a private jet, information from the camp of the Nigerian duo, indicates that they do not own a private jet, contrary to initial reports. Speaking in an exclusive interview on Peace FM�s �Entertainment Review�, Publicist for the group Mr. Bayo Adetu disclosed that was never true that P-Square has acquired a private jet but rather, they have a deal with a private jet company, who has designated one private jet to them to use as and when they deem it necessary, but they don�t own it. �Concerning the private jet, I think it�s been added to P-Square�s entourage because we have a deal with a private jet company, so I mean whenever P-Square has any official show, they are entitled to travel with the private jet anytime any day�. Nonetheless, P-Square still remains the only artistes in Africa to sign such an exclusive deal with a jet company which gives them full access to a jet at any point in time. Asked to confirm P-Square�s reported deal with Universal Records, he said �Yeah, it�s true the contract was signed on Thursday 31st May 2012 and he also cleared doubts that the deal is only limited to South Africa and not Universal Records Worldwide �I think there was some misinformation because it is a Worldwide contract, but the only thing is that it was signed in South Africa so the representatives from South Africa must have transferred the documents back to their headquarters, which of course, is worldwide. It is not limited to South Africa or Africa, it�s a worldwide thing�. He explained that this means a lot of good things are coming their way and this deal is just one of them. �Both parties are happy about the contract and we are both comfortable with everything that comes with it. That is all I can say for now�. Speaking about P-Sqaure�s latest collaboration with American rapper Rick Ross, Bayo said It�s a big collaboration titled �Beautiful Onyinye�, and they just released both the video and the audio worldwide, adding that the video for the song was shot in Miami, Florida and Cape Town in South Africa, and Directed by the elder brother of P-Square Jude Okoye, who also doubles as their manager. Asked how much it cost to shoot such a world standard video, Bayo said �It cost millions of Naira. I wouldn�t say exactly how much it cost them but of course when you look at the quality of the video and what it took them to travel from Nigeria with their crew to America, back to South Africa and any other thing, you should have an idea of how much it takes. So I will not mention particular figures but trust me, it cost millions of Naira�. As to whether it is true P-Square pays money to American artistes to feature on their songs, he answered in the negative, saying �The truth of the matter and the good thing about these collaborations is that they come as a mutual agreement with all the parties involved. Nigerian music is so far is improving by the day and it is attracting international attention and most of the international stars too always like to work with the Nigerian stars. So far so good, P-Square has never paid any money to anyone to feature or to do any collaboration with them�.
