Terry G says he made it cool for Naija artists to smoke weed on screen

Nigerian music star Terry G has made a bold statement about cannabis use among African artists. The performer claims he opened doors for other musicians to smoke weed openly during videos and shows. Terry G believes his brave actions helped other stars feel comfortable showing their cannabis habits to fans. He thinks his willingness to take risks gave courage to fellow artists across the continent. The singer sees himself as someone who made sacrifices for the music community.

Many people disagree with Terry G's version of events and point to older musicians who came first. Critics mention Fela Anikulapo-Kuti as the real pioneer who used cannabis publicly decades earlier. The legendary Afrobeat creator smoked weed openly and sang about it long before Terry G became famous. Fela's influence on cannabis culture among African musicians started much earlier than Terry G suggests. Music fans remember Fela as the true trailblazer who normalized weed use among performers.

Terry G has built a reputation for unusual and creative musical styles throughout his career. The artist became known for hit songs like "So High" and "Free Madness" that gained popularity across Nigeria. He has worked with other big names like Timaya and 9ice on various projects. His wild personality and unique approach have shaped parts of the Nigerian music scene. Terry G continues to push boundaries with his eccentric performance style.
