Renowned Nigerian singer Terry G has showered praise on fellow musician Wizkid, likening him to American hip-hop icon Jay-Z.
During a podcast with media personality Adesope, Terry G extolled Wizkid's influence on the Nigerian music scene, declaring him the "Jay-Z of our generation." He elaborated, “Wizkid is the Jay-Z of our generation. He’s the first [born child of the new generation of Nigerian musicians] and we’ll always give it to him.”
Terry G fondly recalled their 2016 collaboration, when Wizkid visited his Ishaga residence for a recording session, resulting in four unreleased tracks. However, he revealed that Wizkid's team recently requested the removal of their song "Mary Jane" from digital streaming platforms due to clearance issues.
“I didn’t clear the song I made with Wizkid [‘Mary Jane’] because, in my era, we don’t clear songs; we do collaborations based on love. The lawyers have reached out to me to take the song down,” Terry G explained. He acknowledged his oversight, emphasizing the importance of professionalism and proper paperwork in the music industry. The song has since been taken down, and Terry G has vowed to ensure its removal from all platforms.
Terry G's tribute to Wizkid underscores the significant impact of the younger generation of Nigerian musicians, with Wizkid leading the way as a trailblazer in the industry.
