5th November 2025
Nigerian singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has caused a stir on social media after claiming that he serves the devil and that his success is a result of that allegiance.
The controversial artist made the remarks in a now-deleted social media post, just hours after debunking viral rumours that he had died.
In a video message, Terry G dismissed the false death reports, saying:
“My phone has been buzzing since morning. People have been calling to check up on me. They saw something online about my R.I.P, saying Terry G don die. I came to clear your conscience. Please, whoever is trending that news, stop am. I am doing very fine, please stop that, I beg you in the name of God.”
However, his subsequent comments reignited public debate when he addressed speculations about his alleged connection to dark powers.
“In the video with Honest Bunch Podcast, I said, ‘I have fallen short of the glory of God. People like me will not get married. I’m not a gospel musician. I’m a secular musician. I sing for the devil. We sing for the devil, we praise the devil. We don’t glorify God and it’s my business.’
You people don’t know before? Don’t you know I’m serving the devil? He made me successful. I have cleared your conscience. Take am like that. God bless you, I’m still very sound and healthy,” he added.
The statement has since triggered mixed reactions among fans and the wider public, with many expressing shock and disappointment, while others questioned whether his remarks were meant to be sarcastic or literal.
Terry G, known for his eccentric personality and energetic performances, has long been one of Nigeria’s most controversial entertainers, often making headlines for his bold and unconventional statements.
