Nigerian singer Terry G has addressed long-standing allegations that he hijacked the hit song Pass Me Your Love from fellow artist AY.Com, dismissing the claims as unfounded.
In a post shared via his X handle, Terry G clarified that he had every right to perform the track, which featured him as a guest artist, and slammed critics for what he described as “pure ignorance.”
“To those saying I stole ‘Pass Me Your Love’ from Ay.com — that’s pure ignorance. So I don’t have the right to perform a song I collaborated on? Your favourite artists do it all the time, but when it’s me, it becomes a problem. Hypocrisy at its finest,” he wrote.
He also stated that he never included the song on any of his albums and maintained that the collaboration was not about ownership but artistic synergy.
Terry G further alleged that public criticism over the song contributed to the decline of AY.Com’s music career.
“Some of you ruined AY’s moment with your noise, not me. As for my shine, nobody can block it. You no reach,” he added.
Pass Me Your Love, released in the late 2000s, was one of the standout hits of its era, with Terry G’s hook and energetic delivery playing a major role in its success.
