Terry G indeed made that comment, celebrating the tendency in Nigeria (and broader Africa) to sometimes forget or dismiss our own talents, unlike how global icons like Jay‑Z and Beyoncé are consistently lauded for their impact. He was referring to this trend while praising Wizkid, calling him “the Jay‑Z of our generation” for his influence, carriage, and trailblazing role in Afrobeats—remarks he made on the Afrobeats Podcast in mid‑June 2024 . 🎙️ His exact words (paraphrased) were along the lines of: “Here in Africa, especially Nigeria, we’re quick to discard our own. No one calls Jay‑Z or Beyoncé outdated. Their impact is honoured.” By drawing this contrast, Terry G was highlighting how Nigerian stars often face dismissal or neglect over time, even as international legends continue to receive enduring recognition. His praise of Wizkid was rooted in seeing those parallels and pushing for a more consistent appreciation of Nigerian greatness. It’s interesting to see an artist so candidly encourage the celebration of home-grown talent and urge viewers and fans not to rush to forget or disregard our local icons. Would you like to explore more examples where Nigerian artists have encouraged this kind of recognition, or perhaps insights on how industry advocacy has evolved?
