Nigerian singer, Terry G, has ignited a public feud by accusing fellow artist Timaya and other music producers of failing to pay agreed-upon royalties for a song he produced. In a candid Instagram post, Terry G expressed frustration, highlighting the industry-wide issue by stating, “Looking at all the podcasts and artists speaking up, the table will be used for firewood the day I will talk my own if you know I produced a song for you.”
Asserting his claim, Terry G demanded his due share, stating, “I need my 50% producer publishing royalties from Timaya and others. For all the producers out there, use me as an example of how they use and dump greatness. But still, I rise.”
This revelation adds to a growing trend of artists addressing the pervasive problem of unpaid royalties in the music industry. Terry G’s bold stance sheds light on the challenges faced by producers and artists alike, emphasizing the need for transparency and fair compensation.
As the industry grapples with these issues, Terry G’s call for accountability resonates with the larger conversation about recognizing and compensating the creative contributions of producers in the music-making process.
