Nigerian rapper Gabriel Oche Amanyi, better known as Terry G, has taken to social media to rant about the behaviour of fans towards legendary musicians.
Terry G seemed fed up with the situation, and he took to his official X page to address it. The music star, who was at the peak of his musical career in the late 2000s to early 2010s, complained about how Nigerian fans treat music legends.
According to Terry G, he has often heard people tell him that his time has passed, and he sees it as brain damage. The Akpako crooner went on to add that in the west, legends are respected forever and nobody dares call Jay Z or Beyonce outdated.
Terry G wrote: “I hear people say, “Your time don pass!”—and it sounds like brain damage. In the West, legends are respected for life. No one calls Jay-Z or Beyoncé outdated. Their impact is honored. But here in Africa, especially Nigeria, we’re quick to discard our own. That’s why we believe our ancestors were evil, while Western ancestors are seen as gods. It’s time to break free from that mindset. If you don’t keep adding value to yourself and those around you, your worth will fade—no matter how great you once were. We must do better.”
