HAMMED Basheer, also known as MC Bash and organiser of the first edition of the “D’ Good, D’Bash & D’Funny” programme has criticised Terry G, a popular singer for slapping DJ Phreez, a trainee DJ under prolific disk-jockey master, DJ Jimmy Jatt at the event. Terry G had slapped DJ Phreez for stopping his music in the heat of his performance.
The incident which happened on Sunday, June 5, at Shell Hall, Muson Centre, Lagos, has been the talk of the town following the event which was well-attended by many artistes. MC Bash said: “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, adding that both sides were at fault since 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.”
Although it was reported that Terry G was not among the artistes billed to perform and that he begged the organisers until he was told to perform for seven minutes, MC Bash described the reports as being mischievous. He added that Terry was billed to performed, though no time frame was giving to him initially.
Terry G also told reporters: “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 behaviour. I guess that’s why I did what I did because it can happen to anybody, but I’ve apologised 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 DJAN, 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.
