Nigerian singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, also known as Terry G, has disclosed that his colleague Wizkid’s legal team contacted him to remove his song ‘Mary Jane’ from digital streaming platforms.
In a recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, Terry G admitted that he did not obtain permission from Wizkid’s team before releasing the song, which looked to have been recorded years earlier.
“I didn’t clear the song I made with Wizkid [‘Mary Jane’] because, in my era, we don’t clear songs; we do collaborations based on love. The lawyers have reached out to me to take the song down,” he disclosed.
“To be honest, we’ve got to be professional and do paperwork. Because if that doesn’t work, nothing will work. So trust me, I have pulled down the song. For the platforms that are yet to take it down, I will make sure it is taken down on those platforms, too, soon.”
