Nigerians are on Twitter arguing and comparing the careers of pop stars, Terry G and Naira Marley over who has/had more influence on Nigerian youths in their prime.
With Naira Marley arguably being the only Nigerian artist with a ‘cult’ following in the past 12-months, many people feel his exploits and influence is nothing compared to what Terry G achieved in his prime during the ‘Free Madness’ era.
See how the conversation is playing out below….

Before the Wizkid and Olamide in 2011 and Davido’s presence in 2012, Terry G was the hottest street artist. Man did part 1, 2 and 3 of the same song which was originally just a freestyle and all were bangers. We are all Marlians now yes,but let’s not disrespect the Ginger King! https://t.co/36Oe9qsFbA
