While in a podcast with Media Personality, Adesope, Terry G extolled Wizkid’s influence on the Nigerian music scene. Also, he went on declaring him the “Jay-Z of our generation”.
In his words, “Wizkid is the Jay-Z of our generation. He’s the first [born child of the new generation of Nigerian musicians] and we’ll always give it to him.”
Also, He fondly recalled their 2016 collaboration, where Wizkid visited his Ishaga residence for a recording session, resulting in four unreleased tracks.
However, Terry G also revealed a legal request from Wizkid’s team to remove their song Mary Jane from digital streaming platforms due to clearance issues.

Nonetheless, Terry G acknowledged his oversight, emphasizing the importance of professionalism and paperwork in the music industry.
Additionally, He has since taken down the song and vowed to ensure its removal from all platforms.
