Psqaure are about to
sucker-punch MayD with their latest move to signing A (cheap?) Ghanaian
equivalent. Barely two months after parting ways
with May D, Square Records and Northside Entertainment is said to be closing in
on a young Ghanaian Afro-Pop singer, Predy X, known in real life as Samuel
Omane-Mensah. Square Records, who parted
ways with May D over “irreconcilable
differences”, is keen on getting the highly-rated Ghanaian youngster into its fold. According to sources close to CEO of Square Records and Northside Entertainment, Jude ‘Engees’ Okoye, the deal was expected to be concluded in the “coming days”. Bayo Adetu, publicist for Square Records, which features the talented music duo P-Square, is reported to have told a Nigerian magazine, Entertainment Today that their pursuit of Predy X was due to his versatile music talent.

Asked how they discovered Predy X, the Square
label publicist was reported to have said that “a top producer” mentioned him
in a discussion; therefore the management of the label assessed him and decided
to give him a chance.
Samuel Omane-Mensah aka Predy X, who is signed on
to X Entertainment, is expected to move his base to Nigeria to agree to terms
of Square Records, with the latter keen on avoiding the same mistake that led
to its separation with May D.
Currently, Predy X’s ‘Dance With My Baby’ is
enjoying massive play in pubs and nightclubs in Nigeria and Ghana.
The 25-year-old musician, a graduate of Ghana
Institute of Journalism, is optimistic that the deal will materialize as soon
as possible.
In an interview with Nigeria Entertainment Today,
Predy X disclosed that his hard work was finally paying off.
According to him, “I am sure what might have
endeared me to Square Records is my knack for performing with live bands rather
than miming.”
