Veteran Nigerian music star Gabriel Oche Amanyi, known professionally as Terry G, has pledged not to retire from music, stating he’d rather be seen as an “up-and-coming artist” than give up his craft entirely.
Speaking in response to critics who accused him of chasing online attention, Terry G posted on his X account, “I fully embrace being seen as an upcoming artist. You only become a legend when you retire — and I’m never retiring. So if you catch me chasing clout, let me be.”
The 39-year-old singer, who rose to fame in the 2010s with street-hop hits such as Free Madness, Sangalo, Akpako Master, and Run Mad, is currently working on a comeback with a collaboration titled Tanko with Victony.
