Nigerian singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, professionally known as Terry G, has made an honest revelation about a past incident that had a profound impact on his career.
In a recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, the singer eflected on how his physical altercation with a DJ several years ago affected his growth as an artist.
Recall that In 2016, Terry G made headlines for slapping DJ Phreez, a protege of DJ Jimmy Jatt, at an event in Lagos.
The incident sparked controversy and led to the DJs Association of Nigeria (DJAN) blacklisting him.
Terry G has now admitted that his actions that day had far-reaching consequences for his career.
He acknowledged that his actions that day were a mistake and took responsibility for his behavior.
He also shared that he has since apologized to DJ Phreez and his mentor, DJ Jimmy Jatt, as a step towards making amends and moving forward.
Earlier this year, Terry G called out Timaya over unpaid royalties.
He did not mince his words as he expressed his frustration and disappointment with the situation.
In a recent social media post, Terry G revealed that he has been contemplating speaking out on the matter, particularly after listening to podcasts where artists disclose their experiences with unpaid royalties.
He emphasized that the day he decides to share his opinions, the metaphorical “table will be used for firewood,” implying that he intends to bring the issue to light in a bold and forceful manner.
Terry G made it clear that he is seeking his rightful 50% producer publishing royalties from Timaya and other artists.
The veteran singer and producer lamented the treatment he has allegedly received from fellow producers, using himself as an example of how greatness is exploited and then discarded.
