Singer and songwriter, Terry Apala, has denied the claim that he uses drugs and substances to maintain his vocal ability.
He revealed that it might be difficult to believe due to the way he sounds, but he doesn’t drink, smoke or take substances, even to perform at shows.
In an interview with Punch published on Friday, the 29-year-old said, “I do not drink or smoke whether to perform on stage or while I’m in a public gathering.
“People can testify to the fact that when I’m out or invited for shows, I prefer to take soft drinks.
“It is very difficult to believe and people find it shocking but I was brought up in a humble and disciplined background. If you want to make me happy, just get me an energy drink and ice,” he said.
The Mushin-bred artiste revealed that he worked with Musiliu Ishola to create some of his apala tunes while growing up.
“I worked under him. I am not forcing the way I sound. I have a song where I featured him, titled Palongo,” he added.
