Terry G has received several awards for his talent.
In 2023, the singer engaged the All Progressives Congress (APC) in an online outburst for allegedly failing to pay him for his campaign performances.
In 2020, he spoke about not landing endorsement deals because a negative image was cast on him.
“I looked like the baddest guy in Nigeria. Endorsement time came, nobody endorsed me. Nobody did anything all that time when Terry G was hot,” he had said.
