Nigerian singer, Terry G publicly called out Timaya, on his Instagram page for allegedly not paying royalties.
The singer of “Akpako Master” voiced his dissatisfaction and disgust with the circumstances without holding back.
Terry G said in a recent social media post that he had been thinking about coming out about the issue, especially after listening to podcasts where musicians talk about their experiences receiving unpaid royalties.
He made it clear that the metaphorical “table will be used for firewood” the day he chooses to voice his views, suggesting that he plans to do so in a decisive and audacious way.
Terry G has stated unequivocally that he wants Timaya and other musicians to pay him the 50% producer publishing royalties that are his due.
Using himself as an example of how excellence is taken advantage of and ultimately discarded, the seasoned singer and producer bemoaned the treatment he had supposedly experienced from other producers.
Terry G penned:
“Looking at all the podcasts and disclosure artists speaking up, the day I go talk on my own, the table will be used for firewood. If you know I produced this song for you,
“I need my 50% producer publishing royalties from Himaya and others. But all the producers out there use me as an example of how they use and dump greatness. But still, I rise.”
