‘Slapping DJ affected my career’ – Terry G

Nigerian singer, Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has revealed that a physical assault on a DJ years ago affected his career.

DAILY POST recalls that Terry G stirred controversy after slapping DJ Jimmy Jatt’s protege, DJ Phreez, at an event in Lagos on June 5, 2016, for playing another artiste’s song in a bid to get him off stage.

His action led to the DJs Association of Nigeria, DJAN, blacklisting him back then.

Speaking in the latest episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, the ‘Akpako Master’ admitted that the incident affected his growth as an artiste.

He, however, added that he later apologised to the DJ Phreez and his boss, DJ Jimmy Jatt.
