He weighed in on the debate about the greatest Nigerian musician. Terry G declared Wizkid the all-time best, acknowledging the legendary status Wizkid has built over his long career. This isn’t a new opinion for Terry G – he expressed the same view on a podcast last month.
Interestingly, Terry G also believes Burna Boy holds the current crown for being the most popular Nigerian artist. This distinction between “greatest” and “most popular” adds another layer to the conversation about Nigerian music dominance.
He wrote,
“Concerning what I said on the Honest Bunch Podcast that was posted a few weeks ago, my take still stands. Yeah, currently, Burna is the biggest, but when it comes to all-timers, I’ll give it to Wiz. Y’all can’t deny the works and the legendary status he built for himself. WIZ is HIM!!!”

Terry G’s comments come after Wizkid went on a social media outburst last week. Wizkid’s social media posts were a series of angry messages, targeting music producer Don Jazzy with what seemed like criticism.
The situation escalated further when Wizkid and another singer, Davido, got into a public argument.
This online feud adds another layer of drama to the Nigerian music scene, right before Terry G throws his hat into the ring of the “greatest vs. most popular” debate.
