Following
the recent happening between popular singer, Terry G and Dj Phreez, a
trainee DJ under prolific disk-jockey master, DJ Jimmy Jatt at the first
edition of ‘D’GOOD, D’BASH And D’FUNNY’ where Terry G slapped DJ Phreez
for stopping his music in the heat of his performance.
The
organiser, Hammed Basheer known as MC Bash in a telephone conversation
about the event which took place last Sunday 5th of June, 2016 at Shell
Hall, Muson Centre, Lagos said Terry G shouldn’t have slapped him but
he’s human. He narrated, “Terry G didn’t spoil my show. It was recorded
as a successful event and after the incident happened; the show
continued with 9ice and Jaywon performance while I later performed to
delight the audience to an unforgettable cheerful experience”.
When
asked if the organiser instructed the Dj Phreez to play a song to chase
him away, Bash said he wasn’t in the hall premises to have actually
known what happened in the hall, but to both sides they have faults; the
DJ shouldn’t have played another artiste’s song and Terry G shouldn’t
have slapped him either. But I have spoken with Jimmy Jatt and I hope
Terry G will do soon.”
Though
it was quoted in a report that Terry G was not among the artiste billed
to perform and that he begged the organizers until he was told to
perform for seven minutes; MC Bash said it was mischievous information,
“Terry was billed to performed, though no time frame was giving to him
initially,”
Terry
G speaking to ‘Airwaves Report’ said “Will heaven fall if a comedian
comes to whisper in my ears and say you’re running out of time; round
up? That was a slap on my face. Give or take, I got too many hits to
care about who cares. I am not a kid in this industry, and am not a one
hit kind of artist, why on earth will I walk up to a show if I was not
billed and a Dj will be playing another artiste’s song just to chase me
out of the stage? Though, I was angry and emotional at the same time and
even the crowd complained about the DJ’s behavior. I guess that’s why I
did what I did because it can happen to anybody, but I’ve apologized to
Jimmy Jatt and Dj Phreez.
Meanwhile,
the Deejays Association of Nigeria (DJAN), has ordered all Nigerian
Disc Jockeys to stop playing all of Terry G’s songs until further
notice.
In
a statement signed by Sebastian Ikpoza (DJ Desert Storm), National
Secretary of Deejays Association of Nigeria stated that ‘legal actions
are on the way but after wide consultations and deliberations, the
Deejays Association of Nigeria hereby place an embargo on all songs of
Terry G, audio and video (including songs he featured in) indefinitely
in all events, lounges, bar, radio and every other spot where it is the
duty of a DJ to play music Nationwide.
