When Reggie Rockstone announced a couple of months ago that he was joining VIP, many were those who thought it was a joke because they could not believe that the Grandpapa of Hiplife would do a thing like that.<\/p>\n
Showbiz can confirm today that indeed, Reggie is a member of VIP. Last Monday he told Showbiz that the trio will now be known as VVIP.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt all began when I posted on Twitter that I was joining VIP. That simple message drew a lot of attention but the truth is that I have always wanted to be a member of VIP.<\/p>\n
When Promzy left I told myself that VIP has to continue in order not to slow down the vision. I said to myself, I\u2019m not bad looking and I can still rap so why not join my younger brothers to keep the vision in progress?\u201d<\/p>\n
Most importantly, Reggie added, \u201cIt is God\u2019s work, it has nothing to do with Promzy\u2019s leaving. It happened after many discussions but the truth is, it was all by divine intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n
As to people\u2019s perception that he is too old or too big to come to the level of VIP, Reggie said that was neither here nor there because people still rap and sing regardless of their age, mentioning Jay Z as an example.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter how old I am, I can still be a member of VIP, the merger is historical. Regardless of my age, I have humbled myself to join my younger brothers, it has not happened before and that is why I call it historical.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked if he was going to be the leader of VVIP, Reggie said, \u201cOriginally, I think Lazzy (now called Zeal) was the leader but the chemistry of working together is so tight that there is no leader but my age and experience in African terms makes it easier for them to listen to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere has always been mutual respect even before I joined the group and I must admit that they are both respectful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reggie revealed that their first single, Selfie will be released tomorrow Friday which happens to be his birthday. \u201cToday is Efya\u2019s birthday and tomorrow is my birthday so there is going to be a big party at Rockstone\u2019s Office, Django Bar to celebrate our birthdays.<\/p>\n
According to Reggie, the party is open to all, \u201cYou just pay to get in and be part of the party, proceeds will go to charity, and it will be so much fun no one would want to miss it, please dress well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Throwing more light on Selfie, Reggie said it is a very danceable song and everyone will love it. \u201cAnother single will follow soon but I will keep the title of that one a secret for now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was produced by DJ Breezy who comes from D-Black\u2019s camp. \u201cWe are on a mature level now, call it senior citizens,\u201d he said with a smile.<\/p>\n
Incidentally all three VVIP have had baby girls within the last one year. Lazzy\u2019s ( now Zeal) is Jara; Prodigal\u2019s is Nana; and Reggie\u2019s is Rehji.<\/p>\n
