It would be recalled that P-Square’s ‘Alingo’, which is currently enjoying massive airplay, D’Prince’s ‘Take Banana’, Flavour Nabania’s ‘Shake’, Goldie’s skibobo and five other videos were recently banned by the commission.

Responding to the development, P-square through their publicist, Bayo Adetutu said, “we also just saw the story online this morning and we do not think that the NBC’s ban is justifiable.”

Mavin Records’ artiste, D’Prince on the other hand responded via twitter this afternoon. He said: “Apparenty NBC has banned Take Banana video and some others? Oh well more videos in works.”

Also, rising afro-hip hop star, Tillaman said whose video, Koma Roll was banned said: “So they banned my Koma Roll video… We ain’t letting this stop us! Expect our reply coming up in a bit.”

KCEE of the defunct pop group, KC Presh tweeted, “I think we have some drunk people working in NBC, what’s wrong with the videos they just banned?”
