“Disrespectful”- Terry G Responds To Fans Comparing Him With Portable”

Veteran Nigerian rapper Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has addressed ongoing comparisons between himself and controversial artist Portable.

Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, is well known for his unfiltered behavior and numerous controversies, which have kept him in the public eye. Many social media users have drawn parallels between his wild persona and that of Terry G, who was once regarded as one of the most eccentric figures in Nigeria’s music scene during the 2000s.

Terry G, famous for his high-energy performances and unconventional style, was no stranger to controversy in his prime. Despite these similarities, he recently took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to express frustration over the comparison.

Labeling the comparison as disrespectful, Terry G stated that unlike Portable, he creates timeless music. The “Pass Me Your Love” singer emphasized that his musical contributions stand the test of time, setting him apart from his younger counterpart.

“Comparing me to Portable is disrespectful because I actually have music people listen to 10 years later.”
