Brand new video from Africa’s most successful set of twins,
P-Square. The song, Gimme Dat has already been a steady track in
african clubs all over the world, and now the video is here. Doesn’t
disappoint. Check it out.
There has been a lot of speculation about the mansion, and how much
it cost. Is it N100 million? N300 million? or N500 million? Whatever
the price is, it sure looks like they spent a good amount of money on
it. Here are a few words from Peter when asked about the price of the
mansion:
“Getting a land in Omole Estate (Ikeja, Lagos) alone is N100m.
When you look at the house, especially the finishing, it is over
$2million. When people speculated that the house was worth N300
million, we had not even finished the interior. What do you think is
the cost of a mansion that has a swimming pool, six living rooms, ten
master bedrooms, all fully furnished? It’s far more than the speculated
N300million”
