Terry G Claims He Paved the Way for Nigerian Artists to Smøke C@nn@bis Onscreen
Singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, better known as Terry G, recently asserted that he made a unique cultural mark on the Nigerian music scene.
The ‘Free Madness’ hitmaker boldly claimed that his so-called “sacrifice” empowered Nigerian artists to confidently smøke c@nnabis on screen.
According to Terry G, before his rise to fame, Nigerian musicians lacked the courage to openly smoke cannabis in their videos.
Sharing his thoughts on social media this past Sunday, he wrote, “No hard feelings, it’s all love, but don’t forget that if not for my sacrifice, none of your favourites would have the guts to smoke Igbo for screen.”
His statement sparked some skepticism, with many pointing out that legendary Nigerian musicians like Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti were already smoking on screen long before Terry G’s time.
Nevertheless, Terry G’s claim highlights his belief in his influence on the boldness of contemporary Nigerian artists.
