“Cultism has entered Nigerian music industry”– Terry G

Terry G, a renowned Nigerian singer, has made a shocking allegation that the music industry in Nigeria is now largely controlled by cult members.

The artist, known for his hit songs, expressed his frustration that those who are not part of these secret societies, like himself, are finding it difficult to succeed in the industry.

In a recent interview on the Afrobeats Podcast, Terry G emphasized that eliminating cultism would pave the way for unity and harmony to return to the music industry.

He said,

“In my time [when I held sway], cultism used to be in the universities. But it has entered into the music industry now. If we can remove it from the music industry, we would be [one] family again.

“But if there’s frat [confraternity] in the music industry, people like us who are not cultists cannot operate anymore.

“When we held sway, there were people doing cultism but it wasn’t violent. It was about love. They said it was for solidarity propose.

“But now, I can see the same family fighting themselves. So that’s just the major problem of the Nigerian music industry. A lot of musicians are even scared to do music. They want to do cult before they do music now because that would pave way for them than the music. Let’s try and reduce the rate of cultism in the music industry.”
