CEO of Northside Entertainment/Square Records, Jude Okoye says he is not looking forward to signing any new artiste in the nearest future.
The multi-award winning video director and elder brother of Psquare told Hiphop World magazine in an interview ’I don’t know about Peter and Paul but me personally I won’t sign any artiste until P-Square stops singing, that is the same thing I said when you asked me why I’m not shooting videos for other artistes, everyone that comes under this umbrella will start comparing.’
The label boss who has also scored some of the biggest videos in Africa also explains his not shooting for other artistes too. ‘That’s the reason why in managerial aspect and even shooting videos, people will definitely want to compare, so because of that I made up my mind that I’m better off on my own’
Square Record’s attempt at experimenting with non-Okoye acts failed last year, with the drama surrounding May D who was eventually dropped from the label.
