Terry G wanted by Police

From time to time, news of
artistes defaulting on
performance agreement filter in
and when they (indicted
artistes) are contacted by the
press over such matters, they
manage to defend themselves.
Only last month, pop singer
D ’banj’s manager; Sunday Are
exonerated his act in one of
such allegations involving
millions.
Now, the baton’s swinging in
marijuana-smoking, talented
producer turned artiste- Terry
G ’s direction. The young man
accorded with production
credits for hits like ‘Aiye Po gan’,
‘Pass me your love‘ and Free me
now (which he sang), has been
accused of fleeing with the sum
of N500, 000, being payment
for his performance at a
graduation party at the
University of Benin.
The money was allegedly paid
directly to the producer himself
by Cyril Emiko son of Surveyor
G.T Emiko for special guest
appearance at Cyril ’s graduation
party which held on the 29th of
January this year. In addition to
the performance fee, Terry
allegedly collected money for
five return tickets for his travel
party.
The party was publicised all over
the campus. Hotel rooms were
allegedly booked and vehicles
made available to convey the
artiste and his crew when he
arrived. Cyril was disappointed
and aghast when the artiste
refused to show up without
reason and has received no
refund ( as at press time).
Hence, it was a furious father
who called up Dele Abiodun; the
president of Performing
Musicians Association of Nigeria
(PMAN), this week, to lodge
complain.
Unfortunately, Terry G is not a
member of PMAN and the
aggrieved father, Surveyor
Emiko – who sponsored the
party with the sum of N750,
000, is threatening to get the
police involved and possibly go
to court over the loss.
When a call was placed through
to the artiste ’s mobile phone,
the receiver who said he was
Terry G ’s Personal Assistant said,
‘Are you the only one that does
not know that Terry G is out of
the country? Have a good day,
gentleman ’. And the line went
dead.
While we await the
controversial singer and
producer ’s return to hear his
side of the story- if he will
comment, friends of Terry G are
urged to wade into the matter
and seek a calm resolve.
