Gabriel Oche Amani popularly known as Terry G, within a short spell has made himself a force to be reckone with in the music industry. Among the teeming numbers of young hip hop musicians in Nigeria today, Terry G, who is also called Mr. Bling or Ginja-Ginja belongs to the Exclusive few like Paul Play, Dairo and OJB Jeezrel who have effectively distinquished them selves by combining the roles of a song writer, music producer and music performer.
Since he caught public attention a few years back with his hit single ‘love you sexy,’ a classic dance hall beat, the music has made him one of the sought after producers with an impressive credit including production of popular songs such as “ in case you.
Never” (by 2 shotz) “Aye PO Gan” (by Iii Bliss) as well as a number of songs including Gift and Grace” (by Timaya).
Terry G’s work is characterised by deep Lyrics, distinctive keyboard sounds and a creative signature jingle.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
