Why marriage not ideal for musicians – Terry G

By Taiwo Okanlawon

Nigerian singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, Akpako Master or Ginjah Master has claimed that marriage isn’t ideal for musicians.

According to him, opposite sex fans would be less comfortable with a musician if they are married.

Featuring as a guest in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Terry G described opposite sex fans as the “juice of the music industry,” stressing that without them the music industry would be boring.

He said, “I don’t think marriage is for people like us [musicians]. If I get married, it would restrict me from my female fans.

“Females are the base of the music, they are the juice of the music industry. Remove them and you are bored.

“If a music artist announced his marriage publicly, it would affect his female fanbase. Once you are married, you are out of the box. In Nigeria, they say once you are married, you are out of the market. So automatically you are no longer hot.”
