Captain Planet, a founding member of the legendary Ghanaian hip hop group 4×4, has firmly dismissed fans’ calls for a group comeback.
A Look Back at 4×4’s Legacy
Formed in 2000, 4×4 originally comprised Captain Planet (Sylvanus Dodji Jeoffrey) and Coded (formerly known as Abortion, real name Russell Edem Avornyo). Later, Fresh Prince (Prince Tamakloe) joined the group. Together, they dominated the Ghanaian music scene with chart-topping hits and a slew of award nominations and wins. Their infectious energy and dynamic sound helped shape the modern Afrobeats and hiplife landscape.
However, by 2015, the group became inactive as each member shifted focus to solo careers.
“No More 4×4”: Captain Planet Speaks Out
In a candid post on X (formerly Twitter) dated April 21, 2025, Captain Planet addressed the ongoing speculation:
“Why everybody dey ask when 4×4 dey come back? Mossa, 4×4 no dey come back anywhere. We too old to form a group again. Our job is done long time ago. No more 4×4. We are good as brothers.”
His message made it clear—while the bond between the members remains strong, the group itself is part of history.
Enjoy the Legacy, Not a Reunion
Captain Planet encouraged fans to celebrate the group’s past rather than anticipate a reunion:
“Just enjoy our old tunes. 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. 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.”
Final Notes
While there’s a chance of occasional live performances featuring old 4×4 classics, fans should not expect any new group projects. Captain Planet and his former bandmates are focused on their individual paths—and that’s where the story of 4×4 now lives: in the past, in the music, and in the memories.
