Terry G, a Nigerian recording artiste whose real name is Gabriel Oche Amanyi, has come out to state that he influenced various musicians to confidently smoke cannabis on television screens through their music videos.
The controversial musician, who gained mainstream prominence in the late 2000s, mentioned that he maintained that before he rose to stardom, Nigerian artistes lacked the boldness to smoke cannabis publicly on screen.
The Akpako Master asserted on social media on Sunday.

On his X handle, he wrote, “No hard feelings,it’s all love,but no forget say if no be my sacrifice,none of your fav go get liver to smoke Igbo for screen.”
His claim was met with scepticism, as many pointed out that Nigerian music pioneers such as Afrobeat maestro Fela Anikulapo-Kuti smoked onscreen long before Terry G was born.
