When Reggie Rockstone tweeted last Friday that he would love to take Promzy�s place in VIP, many thought he was kidding. The Grandpapa of Hiplife joining VIP? That must be some kind of a joke. The Oseikrom President, however, seems very serious and is even ready to throw a party to celebrate the moment VIP accepts him into their fold. Talking to Showbiz last Monday, the Maka Maka hit-maker said he was serious about the tweet which stated: �Just read bout my brother Promzy leaving da legendary VIP group! I shud apply to replace him! Always wanted to be in dat group! Lol! Chance�. �I will be more than honoured to join VIP. I must say that I love their music and I�m a huge fan of theirs. I have followed the group for more than 10 years. I have actually been a part of them. �I featured them on my show back in the day at the Efua Sutherland�s Children�s Park and have also performed together on two occasions in New York. I have been a close friend of theirs and I flow very well with them so becoming a member of VIP will be just perfect.� According to Reggie, there are several pointers that make him more than qualified to replace Promzy who left VIP recently. �I am famous; I have the experience and moreover, I am one of the best rappers in Ghana. With all these qualities, I think I woul be the best artiste in Ghana to replace Promzy.� When it was pointed out to him that he might be too �big� since he is the Grandpapa of Hiplife and also too old to join VIP, Reggie said that �as a musician, you can never say you are too big to join a group. I am still very vibrant and have a lot to offer.� Asked if he had spoken to the other members of VIP� Joseph Nana Ofori (Prodigal) or Abdul Hamid Ibrahim ( Zeal) about taking over from Promzy, the Plan Ben hit-maker said he was yet to do so but his tweet about his desire to join the group should tell anyone that he had intentions of becoming a VIP. In as much as he would love to take over Promzy�s place, Reggie indicated he was not happy about the break-up of the group after staying together for two decades. Reggie, who is currently putting finishing touches to a number of singles he plans to release soon, wished Promzy and the other remaining members of VIP well in the decisions they have taken concerning their music careers.
