Nigerian singer Terry G has finally responded to allegations that he hijacked the hit song Pass Me Your Love from his colleague and collaborator, AY.Com.
DAILY POST recalls that Terry G faced criticism for performing the track, which featured him as a guest artist, at his shows in years past. Critics accused him of appropriating the song from AY.Com by frequently performing it at events.
Addressing the longstanding allegations via his X handle recently, Terry G described the claims as “pure ignorance,” asserting that he has every right to perform a song on which he was a featured artist.
He further alleged that the controversy surrounding the supposed hijacking contributed to the decline of AY.Com’s career.
Terry G wrote: “To those saying I stole ‘Pass Me Your Love’ from Ay.com— that’s pure ignorance. So I don’t have the right to perform a song I collaborated on? Your favourite artists do it all the time, but when it’s me, it becomes a problem. Hypocrisy at its finest.
“And no, I didn’t put the song on my album — it was never about ownership, it was about collaboration.
“Some of you ruined AY’s moment with your noise, not me. As for my shine, nobody can block it. You no reach.”
