Nigerian singer Terry G has denied stealing the hit song Pass Me Your Love from his colleague and collaborator, AY.Com.
Recall that it was learnt years later that he wasn't the real owner of the song, instead he was featured as a guest artist on the song.
Following the revelation, 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.”
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.”
