Popular singer Terry G has come out to blast Nigerians for always telling older artists that their time has passed. He recently wondered why Nigerian fans flaunt such a wrong mindset, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, while people in Western nations respect and adore their legends, Nigerians constantly decide to rubbish their legendary musicians.
He added that it is impossible to hear American music fans refer to Jay Z or Beyonce as expired; instead, they never fail to recognize and honour their impact.
His words, “I hear people say, ‘Your time don pass!’—and it sounds like brain damage.
In the West, legends are respected for life. No one calls Jayz or Beyoncé outdated. Their impact is honored.
But here in Africa, especially Nigeria, we’re quick to discard our own. That’s why we believe our ancestors were evil, while Western ancestors are seen as gods. It’s time to break free from that mindset.
If you don’t keep adding value to yourself and those around you, your worth will fade—no matter how great you once were.
We must do better.”
WOW.
