Singer, Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has stated that performing at political events doesn’t make him affiliated with any party.

He explained that he’s an independent artist and was only doing his job by performing at political events.

Speaking in a recent episode of The Real Shareholders podcast, Terry G said it was unfair for fans to judge him for performing at political events when he has never endorsed any party or candidate at such events.

He said, “As an artist, we are usually billed to perform. In the current economy, if you’re opportuned to even get a gig from a political party, you’re lucky. So, respect to the party.

“But as a musician, I’m just doing my job [performing], I’m an independent artist. I’m so independent. I only went to political events to perform. At least, fans should have judged me based on what I said there, but they are now judging me based on what I did.

“No, you don’t need to judge me for that. I went to do my job. If I had said people should vote for APC, that’s a different thing. I went to do my job just like my other colleagues. I don’t know why mine is different.”

DAILY POST recalls that Terry G received backlash on social media for performing at President Bola Tinubu’s pre-inauguration concert at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, in May, 2023.

In November 2023, he called out the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, over alleged debt, claiming that some persons hijacked the money he was supposed to get for performing at the controversial event.
