4X4
A member of music trio, 4×4, Captain Planet has reiterated the group’s readiness to endorse any political party that is willing to pay for their services, unlike some celebrities who do so without any gratification in return.
Speaking to Amanda Jissih on Hitz FM’s ‘Showbiz Filla’, Captain Planet intimated that there is absolutely nothing wrong with showbiz personalities endorsing political parties so far as it makes business sense.
“If you have not been paid, you’re endorsing them ‘by heart’. We are business guys. Once the offer is good, why not?” he said.
Captain Planet however did not disclose the amount 4×4 would charge before throwing their weight behind a political party.
