5 Music Groups That Broke-Up And Broke The Heart Of Fans

Over the years, some groups in the Nigerian music industry have witnessed breakups. While some of such breakups were necessary, most of them left their fans heartbroken.

Thinking of the quality of music that we have enjoyed from music groups in the past, we have thought it wise to put together, a list of groups breakup that shook the industry.

PSquare

Nigerian Hip-hop twins, Peter and Paul Okoye of the popular stage name Psquare dominated the Nigerian music industry for many years. Their split in 2017 got many fans hoping and praying that the twins will go back to making music together as one.

Things fell apart when Peter allegedly confronted his twin Paul, their elder brother and manager Jude for sidelining him in choosing the songs to put out, and that they only selected every song composed by Paul alone.

Both Peter and Paul now have their solo careers.

Plantashun Boiz

Plantashun Boiz consisted of Innocent Idibia, aka 2Baba, Chibuzor Orji, aka Faze and Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo better known as Black Face.

During their days as a group, they had several hits but things came to a head when some members of the group decided to pursue individual careers in 2003.

Mo Hits

Mo Hits, the energetic record label which was co-owned by Micheal Collins (Don Jazzy) and Dapo Oyebanjo D’banj succeeded in giving us very good music that will certainly rock the dance hall whenever it comes on play. Wande Coal, D’Prince, Dr. Sid and K-Switch were signed to the record label.

However, they didn’t succeed in defying the odds as they split up due to differences. They broke into two different groups; Mavin Records and DB Records.

Style Plus

The industry also had to deal with the departure of Tunde from his boy band Style Plus that also consisted of Shifi, and Zeal. Style Plus gained stardom with their hit single Olufunmi in 2007 and they all enjoyed their time, giving hit songs back-to-back.

However, Tunde left style plus few years after to pursue a solo career and since then, not much has been heard from him. The reason for his departure is still unknown.

Kcee Presh

KCEE Presh, made up of Kcee (Kingsley Okonkwo) and Presh (Precious John), came to limelight when they won the much-coveted Star Quest prize in 2002. They were rewarded with the Most Promising Act award that same year. They also won the Best Collaboration, Best Music Comedy Video, Best Akwa Cross Artist (2006), Best South-South Artist (2006) and a host of others during their short stay together. Although of different backgrounds (Kcee hails from Anambara state while Presh is from Akwa-Ibom and Cross River), Kcee made songs that rocked the Nigerian music scene during their time as a group. They later fell apart in 2011.

Kcee however got signed to Five Star Music, a record label owned by his younger brother, E-Money. Kcee hit the music waves with his debut single Limpopo in 2013 which gained him immense followership.

Presh on the other hand hasn’t offered much as a solo artiste since their split.

Like Kcee, he also got signed to a new record label Eric Many records and released a song “I No Dey Lie” which features Tiwa Savage in 2016. The song didn’t fly as expected and since then, nothing has been heard from him.
