Terry G Reveals He Has Some Regrets Too
The "Akpako" singer made the disclosure while speaking with Punch, adding that he was “only a victim of controversies,” and mistakes anyone could have committed.
He said: "I do not like controversies. I was only a victim of controversies. All that I have done in the past that made me controversial were mistakes anyone could commit.
"I am still paying the price for my past. I did certain things I can never do again. I was a young boy, who was just having fun and enjoying music. My past still haunts me as I speak to you, as I am being judged for those actions. I have done things I am not proud of."
According to him, most of the things he was criticized for back in the day, are the things musicians do freely these days.
Terry G also noted that he paved the way for the artistes of today, adding that all he did, he did for the art.
"I am now a scapegoat all because I represented the streets and I was not afraid to show it. I sacrificed myself for the new generation of artistes. All I was being criticised for are those things artistes do freely now and no one talks about them.
"I have many regrets, which I take as lessons in a way. If I had known better, I wouldn’t have done certain things.
"But I do not think what I sing or say determines who I am. One day, Nigerians will realise that art is different from reality. I made my mother love Patience Ozokwor because she had the impression that she was a wicked woman because of her roles in movies. I made my father love many musicians too. I made them understand that what they were doing was an art.
