Beyonce Was Supposed To Feature On “Limpopo” – Soso Soberekon

Popular music executive, Soso Soberekon has come out to recount how Beyoncé almost got featured on KCee’s 2013 monster hit, Limpopo.

He recently had his say during an interview with Daddy Freeze, and fans have ben reacting.

According to him, a billionaire who wanted to bring Beyoncé to Nigeria, and the plan was for him and Kcee to follow him to New York, where the negotiation and collaboration would happen.

Soso added that the plan was shelved when Bey didn’t come to Nigeria anymore, but the song still became a hit.

His words, “Limpopo was supposed to be a song Kcee featuring Beyoncé.

There was a billionaire who wanted to bring Beyoncé to Nigeria. He does not know anything about entertainment, so he asked us to follow him to New York, that we were going to do a song with Beyoncé after negotiation.

We then went to Jay-Z’s club looking for information on getting Beyoncé’s contact. We now finally got an agent to discuss the Beyoncé deal. The deal is she would come to Nigeria to do a concert, meet and greet, and do a song with a Nigerian artiste called KCee. So they said they will get back to us.

So, we came back, and the man asked us to do a song that will feature Beyoncé. So, in the hope of doing a song with Beyoncé, that is how we recorded the song, thinking Beyoncé would be on the song. So it was a fluke, not knowing that we knew it was going to be a hit.

So, then the agent called us to break our hearts, informing us that Beyoncé would not sleep in Nigeria but in Ghana. We could not meet her in Ghana because the main deal was for her to come to Nigeria for a show; the song feature was just a promise. The next thing we knew, we released the song, and it was a hit.”

WOW.
