- Terry G has rejected anything that has to do with comparison with new street artistes and their prowess.
- The singer who recently announced he has given up on music claimed he is not on the same level with any new street musicians, lyrically, vocally, instrumentally or making platinum hit music.
- Terry G asked that some level of respect be put on his name.
Nigerian Ghetto artiste, Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has lamented the decision of music lovers to compare him to new street artistes.
The ‘Free Madness’ crooner in a post on his official social media handles, said there is no fresh entertainer that is musically up to his match.
Terry G asked the public to respect his name and should not be compared with up-and-coming street sensation.
According to him, they may be able to act weird like him but when it comes to producing multi-platinum and playing instruments no one measures up.
He wrote:
“Put some respect on my name. Comparisons have to be of equal match; then a better choice is made; comparing me with any new street sensation is a bad match; they can act crazzy but not musically on my level on both vocal, playing of instruments, producing multi-platinum hits for several artistes and my catalogue.”
Recall the 37-year-old announced he was quitting music in an Instagram post on January 13. In Terry G’s words:
“I’m about to say a big thank you to my fans for staying with me through the years back to back, I am about to make a big announcement, I know it’s gonna hurt a lot of people. I have my personal reasons. I am quitting music. I no dey do again. I’m done and I really appreciate you guys for showing me so much love, God bless you.”
This comes days after the musician expressed his disappointment with fellow musicians who have allegedly been ignoring his messages during challenging times.
Terry G gained prominence with hit songs like ‘Free Madness’, ‘Run Mad’, ‘So High’, ‘Testing Microphone’, ‘Love Affair’ and Adura’.
