Terry G In Messy Street Fight  

Controversial singer and producer, Gabriel Oche-Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has   again  been involved in a messy street fight with fellow musician, Side One, in Benin City.

P.M .NEWS gathered that the fight, which later resulted in a free-for-all, took place at  Wesley Hotel, G.R.A, Benin at about 1a.m.

The two singers were lodged in the hotel by an entertainment outfit that had invited them  for a show.

The two singers had been at loggerheads before the show, following an allegation by Side One  that Terry G usually performs his hit song, One By One, at shows without his consent.

Trouble started when Side One, who had been bitter about the development, decided to visit  the Ginger Ur Swagga crooner in his hotel room, perhaps to make further complaint on the  issue.

“When Side One was knocking on Terry G’s door, Terry saw him through the door hole and said  ‘wetin this shoe shiner dey find? It was just a normal slang anyway, but Side One was angry  and started shouting. He later forced his way into the Terry’s room where the fight  started,” Terry G’s Publicist, Alex Ozone told P.M.NEWS this morning.

Alex further claimed that “it was just a minor issue.”

P.M.NEWS further gathered that when Terry G’s protégés known as House Of Ginger saw Side One  fighting their boss, they pounced on him. It took the prompt intervention of the show  organizers and other artistes like Ill Bliss to bring the situation under control.

However, Side One, who was rescued from the scene, has been in and out of the hospital since  the incident happened last weekend.

When our reporter called Side One’s manager, Makinde on phone this morning, he confirmed the  incident, adding that his lawyers are likely to take the matter up.

“We don’t want to engage them in any war of words because Side One is an easy going person.  But our lawyers will take it up. It was so sad because Terry G’s girlfriend in Benin, who  did not even know how Side One was rescued from the scene of the fight, called the police to  arrest me,” he said.

Since Terry G hit the limelight of the Nigerian music industry a few years back, he has been  enmeshed in one controversy or the other.

About two years ago, he had a similar problem with AY.Com over the song Pass Me Ur Love. In  an interview with P.M.NEWS then, AY.Com also accused Terry G of performing his song at shows  without his consent.

“I paid him [Terry G] to produce the song, and he actually begged me to feature in it. I  also bought the costumes that he used in the video for him. So why should he be performing  the song at shows at my own detriment?” AY.Com asked.
