Captain Planet, a member of the once-celebrated music trio 4×4, has finally declared that the music group has no plans of coming back.
According to him, the era of 4×4 is over for good and dashed hopes of fans who are wishing for the group to reunite.
On April 21, the rapper in an X post dashed hopes when he was responding to persistent calls from fans urging the group to rekindle its musical flame.
“Why everybody dey ask when 4×4 dey come back? Massa 4×4 no dey come back anywhere. We are too old to form a group again… Our job is done. Long time ago. No more 4×4. We are good as brothers,” he posted.
Despite the group’s hiatus, nostalgia for their music has remained strong, prompting recent fan-led campaigns for a possible comeback.
Captain Planet, however, made it clear that while they might occasionally perform together, the days of 4×4 as a music-making group was over.
“Just enjoy our old tunes,” he added. “We might be performing group songs along the line at some point, but the 4×4 group is not coming back again to make music together again. Everybody, get over it. We are too grown to handle our individual talents. We don’t have to be in a group before doing music,” he added.
4×4 was formed in 2000 and was originally made up of Captain Planet, Coded (formerly known as Abortion), and later joined by Fresh Prince — quickly rose to fame with a unique blend of hip-hop and Afrobeat.
The group dominated the Ghanaian music scene for years with back-to-back hits and won several accolades.
However, it went inactive around 2015, with each member branching out into solo ventures.
