In a new post on his page on Elon Musk's Twitter, the Akpako master, as he is fondly called, claimed that the More Love Less Ego singer, Wizkid, was the greatest of all time in Nigeria's music industry.

Terry G referred to his earlier statement about Burna Boy but argued that Wiz has done a lot for the culture since his breakout for one to deny his input.

"Concerning what I said on the Honest Bunch Podcast that was posted a few weeks ago, my take still stands.
"Yeah, currently, Burna is the biggest, but when it comes to all-timer, I'll give it to Wiz... y'all can't deny the works and the legendary status he built for himself... WIZ is HIM! "Not posting Wiz to chase clout, just reminiscing all he's done for the CULTURE!!! I'm content with what I have worked for, lol...  but He's HIM, I repeat!!!"
