Addressing Portable’s meteoric rise, Terry G claimed:
“Portable picked the acting part of me. He didn’t pick the musical part of me. Music is about the instruments. Is it only about your voice? He didn’t create time to learn any instrument.”
The “Akpako Master” further delved into his past altercation with comedian AY.Com, asserting:
“I beat AY.Com, I produced ‘Pass Me Ur Luv’, sang the hook and also had a verse on the song so nobody has the right to tell me not to perform that song at my shows. Moreover, he didn’t pay me for the production.”
However, Terry G’s most scathing remarks were directed at fellow musician Timaya and other unnamed producers, accusing them of using and dumping him without paying agreed-upon royalties. In a fiery Instagram post, he expressed his frustration:
“Looking at all the podcasts and artists speaking up, the table will be used for firewood the day I will talk my own if you know I produced a song for you.
“I need my 50% producer publishing royalties from Timaya and others. For all the producers out there use me as an example of how they use and dump greatness. But still, I rise.”
Terry G’s outburst comes amidst a growing trend of artists speaking up about various issues within the music industry. His threats to expose those who have allegedly not compensated him for his work have sent shockwaves through the Nigerian entertainment scene.
With tensions high and accusations flying, the industry awaits Terry G’s next move, bracing for the potential fallout if he decides to unleash his full fury and reveal the names of those he claims have wronged him financially.
