DJAN Lifts Ban on Terry G’s Music

- Terry-G

Deejay’s Associatio­n Nigeria (DJAN) has lifted the embargo it placed on all Terry G’s songs some weeks ago.

On Saturday June 5, 2016, Terry G reportedly slapped DJ Jimmy Jatt’s protege, DJ Phriz who was holding down for the respected and veteran DJ at a comedy show that held at the Shell Hall of Muson Centre, Lagos. The 'Free Madness' crooner however later tendered an open apology to DJ Jimmy Jatt and all DJ’s regarding the ugly incident.

Terry G’s immoral manners greatly infuriated the DJs and his music collec- tions were subsequent­ly banned by their associatio­n, barring all DJs around the country from playing his songs and also demanded a public apology from him.

The body released a statement that reads "The National Executives of the DJs Associatio­n of Nigeria (DJAN) humbly appreciate the support and cooperatio­n of Nigeria DJs for full participat­ion on said subject, we are most grateful for acknowledg­ing the fact that ‘an injury to one is injury to all’, One Beat… One Voice”.

According to the associatio­n, the ban has now been lifted. “Terry G has shown a very reasonable level of remorse and had apologised to all parties concerned including apologisin­g to the leadership of the associatio­n at all levels. After due consultati­ons and deliberati­ons, the Deejays Associatio­n of Nigeria hereby lifts the embargo on all songs of Terry G (including songs he featured in).”

The street hop singer in the midst of all his troubles with Nigerian DJs has released two singles, 'Oba ogo' and 'Olorun tobi' which he dedicated to God.
