Nigerian singer, Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has labelled the Nigerian music industry as being filled with cultists.

Terry G bemoaned on the latest episode of the Afrobeats podcast, where he described the Nigerian music industry as a place where one who does not want to join culitsm cannot thrive.

Speaking further, he stated that Cultism has created a huge gap in the music industry and it has to be stopped before artistes would be able to work together without issues.

Speaking on the Afrobeats podcast, he said;
“In my time [when I held sway], cultism used to be in the universities. But it has entered into the music industry now. If we can remove it from the music industry, we would be [one] family again.

“But if there’s frat [confraternity] in the music industry, people like us who are not cultists cannot operate anymore.

“When we held sway, there were people doing cultism but it wasn’t violent. It was about love. They said it was for solidarity propose.

But now, I can see the same family fighting themselves. So that’s just the major problem of the Nigerian music industry. A lot of musicians are even scared to do music. They want to do cult before they do music now because that would pave way for them than the music. Let’s try and reduce the rate of cultism in the music industry.”
