KCEE Explains: ‘Why I’m going into oil and gas’

       

To solidify his giant leap into the big leagues, pop singer, KCEE is making a big investment in oil and gas.

Just recently, the singer who is currently enjoying the limelight and all the goodies that come with fame and popularity posted a photo on Instagram of him inside an oil vessel carrying ship with the caption, ‘oil business, investment things’.

In a chat with Nigerian Entertainment Today, KCEE whose real name is Kenneth Okonkwo opened up on his new investment. ‘The name of the company is ‘Five Star Oil and Gas’, a subsidiary of our Five Star brand. There’s actually a lot we want to go into but we are taking our time to unravel them one after the other.’

The oil and gas sector is the highest revenue grossing sector in Nigeria. The MTN ambassador tells us why he is treading that lane.  ‘You know the music business is in Nigeria, no one can remain on top for ever, that is why one needs to be wise and put down investments that  will see one through when the hits are no more coming’.

Mr. Limpopo as KCEE is fondly called by fans isn’t going in on this alone as he has the backing and partnership of his elder brother Emeka Okonkwo popularly known as E-Money. ‘I know this is a new terrain for me, but I’m doing this with my elder bro, E-Money. Together we can never go wrong. We already have a few friends in that industry, hopefully with their advice and counseling we will get to understand the terrain better.’

KCEE who has now followed in the footsteps of Don Jazzy and Psquare who have also invested in the oil and gas business says the long term goal is to own vessels. ‘For now we are still in the primary sector of leasing oil equipments and operating oil storage depot. The long term goal is to someday own oil vessels and may be oil blocks too.’

Thanks to the success of his monster hit song, ‘Limpopo’, the former KC Presh band member has had an awesome 2013, headlining major local and international concerts, acquiring new luxury automobiles, projecting into the A-list category and sealing it up with an MTN endorsement deal.
