Vtek, producer of the ever-popular track “Personally” by P-Square, has revealed that he was deprived of getting credit for producing one of their hit songs.
He explained that he produced ‘Personally’ in 2013 but P-square never mentioned him as the person behind the song which they released in 2014, off the album, Double Trouble.
The Producer made the revelation while being interviewed by Jahbless on his ‘Original Intelligence’ podcast.
Vtek also said that he produced most of the songs on P-Square’s album except two, and he was a young unknown producer at the time.
Speaking further, the sound engineer noted that he co-wrote another of their hit song titled Shekini, and the chorus was his voice.
He said that because of how big it was in Africa, some other countries in North Africa were inviting Psquare for shows.
“I produced personally but P-Square didn’t give me credit,” he said.
