Terry G made headlines after it was alleged that he
slapped a certain DJ Phreez at an event after which veteran DJ, Jimmy Jatt
publicly requested that the Free Madness crooner tender an apology for his
unruly behaviour to Phreez who happened to be a protege of his.
The
incident happened at the first edition of ‘D’GOOD, D’BASH & D’FUNNY’ a
concert by comedian Hammed
Basheer popularly known as Bash at Shell Hall, Muson Centre,
Lagos.
An
eye witness told media outlets, “He
overstayed his time, and even said if he’s not allowed to finish his
performance, he’ll cause trouble. Then the DJ played another artiste’s song and
Terry went over to give him a terrible slap, smashed the microphone on the
stage and left’.
Recounting
what really happened, DJ Jimmy Jatt who was at the venue, said:
I think it was a reaction of an unruly artiste.
The DJ has been coordinating the performances without issues. Terry G wasn’t
even billed to perform. He called the organiser and begged to perform then they
gave him a time frame and he used more than his time. The organisers used
their voice-over guy to call him from the backstage that his time was over and
he said if he hears the voice he’ll cause trouble’.
Then he went on to perform about three more songs. He
was messing up and people were leaving while he was performing. The
organisers were losing crowd and they went to tell the DJ to stop playing his
songs so Terry G can get off the stage.
‘But he didn’t leave the stage – he continued
performing and making music with his bell and he wasn’t leaving still, so they
went back to the DJ and told him to play another artiste’s song, and
my boy obliged.
‘All of a sudden, Terry G walked straight to
the DJ and gave him the most dazzling of slaps, the boy was dazed. Then he left
the venue immediately because I went back stage immediately to try and talk to
him. I was pissed and was going to shut down the performance for the night but
I thought of it again because it wasn’t the organisers fault’.
After
much controversy, Terry G finally issued an apology via his Instagram page
today in an attempt to lay it all to rest. He wrote:
It’s so painful how things play out this days hearing
from just one side.Am not here to paint myself good or perfect.Am only human
and have feelings.Looking back to how this journey of my career started,it’s
been one issue or the other.The negative ones fly like wild fire while the
positive ones is not as wild as the negative stories but all the same God has
been faithful.
I Terry G will be the last person to wanna ruin a colleagues
event intentionally or want to hurt anybody.Good or bad i have contributed
Negatively or Postively to the Nigerian music industry.
