Singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, professionally known as Terry G, has stated that no new street artiste is musically up to his match.
The singer said this on his social media accounts Wednesday while objecting to being compared with up-and-coming colleagues.
“Comparisons have to be of equal match; then a better choice is made; comparing me with any new street sensation is a bad match; they can act crazy but not musically on my level on both vocal, playing of instruments, producing multi-platinum hits for several artistes and my catalogue,” he wrote.
“Put some respect on my name,” the rapper captioned the post.
The 37-year-old announced he was quitting music in an Instagram post on January 13.

I have my personal reasons. I am quitting music. I no dey do again. I’m done and I really appreciate you guys for showing me so m, such love, God bless you,” he wrote.
This comes days after the musician expressed his disappointment with fellow musicians who have allegedly been ignoring his messages during challenging times.
Terry G gained prominence with hit songs like ‘Free Madness’, ‘Run Mad’, ‘So High’, ‘Testing Microphone’, ‘Love Affair’ and Adura’.
