Following the breaking news report in
www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com on Monday that Psquare, a popular hip hop group in Nigeria, alleging that Hip Hop World award was a total shame to the entertainment sector, bloggers and opinion makers have said the group has no case at all.
When the case was brought for hearing on that same day, the elder brother of the group and their manager, Mr.Jude Okoye disclosed that the award should be seen as a tribal attack and a slap on the entertainment industry. He cited certain authorities as defence.He told celebrity court that Ayo Animashaun and other members of Hip Hop World award only gave awards to people from the south west origin except 2face, Timaya and Rugged man.
However, comments emanating from bloggers show that people are angry with the group for dragging Hip Hop World Award before the celebrity court. They referred to previous editions where Psquare carted home award. They did not raise eyebrow or call it a tribal award at that time. Hip Hop World Award’s counsel was absent in court.However,Comments,text messages and calls so far received by the blog shows that the group shouldn’t have dragged the award organizers before the celebrity court.
There are plans by celebrity court to set up a special panel to look into the demands of Psquare.If they are just then,HHWA would be ordered to present Psquare with a special recognition award. Further hearing has been slated for tomorrow at
