VIP, which originally included Abdul Hamidu Ibrahim (Lazzy/Zeal), Emmanuel Ababio (Promzy), and Joseph Nana Ofori (Prodigal), was one of the most influential groups in Ghana’s hiplife music scene. They started in Nima and rose to national fame, helping to shape the sound of hiplife in the country.

Over time, the group experienced several changes. One of the most notable was the departure of Promzy in 2013. His absence was first noticed when the cover art for a song showed Zeal, Prodigal, and Nigerian artiste Terry G instead of the usual trio.

Reports later confirmed that Promzy had requested to leave the group multiple times before the decision was finalized. The group’s then-manager confirmed that Promzy wanted to pursue solo projects.

After Promzy’s exit, the group welcomed hiplife pioneer Reggie Rockstone and changed its name to VVIP. Together with Prodigal and Zeal, they continued to release music and perform, though some fans still missed the original lineup.
