"I gave Nigerian artistes confidence to smoke cannabis on stage" — Terry G

Terry G

Terry G, a renowned Nigerian singer, has sparked controversy with his claim that he paved the way for Nigerian artists to smoke cannabis on screen.

According to Terry G, his boldness and "sacrifice" have given other artists the confidence to publicly display cannabis use in their music videos or performances. However, many have disputed his assertion, citing the legacy of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, who openly used cannabis and featured it in his music long before Terry G rose to fame.

Terry G is known for his innovative and eccentric style, which has left a mark on the Nigerian music scene. Some notable highlights of his career include popular singles like "So High" and "Free Madness", as well as collaborations with artists like Timaya and 9ice.
