Msician Gabriel Amanyi, better known as Terry G, has announced that he has no plans to retire from music.
The 39-year-old, renowned for pioneering the Street-hop genre in the 2010s with hits like ‘Free Madness,’ ‘Sangalo,’ ‘Akpako Master,’ and ‘Run Mad,’ made this declaration in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
In response to critics who accused him of chasing clout on social media, Terry G wrote:
“I fully embrace being seen as an upcoming artist. You only become a legend when you retire-and I’m never retiring. So if you catch me chasing clout, let me be.”
This statement marks a significant shift from his announcement in January 2024, where he declared his retirement from the music industry. In a video shared on his Instagram, he expressed gratitude to his fans but stated:
“I’m quitting music. I’m done.”
Following this announcement, veteran entertainer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, expressed that fans would not accept Terry G’s retirement. He wrote on his X handle:
“Terry G, why naah? Who make u vex Abegi? People dey hold meeting on top dis ur announcement. Guys no go gree ooo.”
