I Used Cocaine But It Never Worked For Me – Terry G

One of the most controversial
artistes in Nigeria is certainly
Terry G. But then, the
controversies that have trailed
him have in no way affected his
career.
Perceived to indulge in hard
substance, Terry G admitted it
was actually an actress that
introduced him to the use of
hard drugs.
Though he didn’t mention the
name of the actress while having
a chat with Saturday Beats
recently, the singer said it was
never really his intention to get
into drugs.
“People actually see me as a very
bad guy, so it does not surprise
me when I go to certain places
and they offer me some things
because they think I already
indulge in them.
It was a gathering of celebrities
and they say when you are in
Rome act like a Roman. I was
offered and I did not want to be
seen as the odd one out, so I
indulged in it with them,” he
said.
Talking about the substance,
Terry G said it was cocaine but
he found out that it didn’t
“work” for him even after he
used it, so he decided to quit.
“I am the first born of my family
and I felt it would not be good to
continue with such.
Also, God has blessed me with
enough energy. My fans know
me to be very energetic and I
believe that anything that could
slow me down can kill me.
I spoke to myself because the
substance normally slowed me
down and I decided to stop it.
While I indulged in it, nobody
knew because I know how to
control myself,” he said.
Terry G could remember how he
quit as he said, “I cut off all
relationships that I had with that
set of people. We stopped
communicating.
I have never bought it before in
my life, so it was easy to stop
once I cut those people off.”
Apart from the drug issue, there
was a time Terry G decided to
add ‘Zuz’ to his name. A lot of
people frowned at it, saying it
was blasphemous.
Reacting to that, Terry G said,
“That is what they think. Jesus is
a name.
They should make their findings,
I am a child of God and I will
never blaspheme.
The name Jesus has been in
existence even before our Lord
was born. The only comma there
is Christ. I cannot call myself
Christ.
The spelling of my name is
different. It is Terry G Zuz, not
Terry Jesus.
But based on the fact that I love
controversy, I did not mind. It is
just the same way I said people
should be calling me Lucifer.
I knew it was going to create
controversy but what I meant
was ‘look see far.’
Our elders often say that what
they can see sitting down, a child
cannot see it even if he climbs a
tree and that is what informed
the name.
I like thinking out of the box.”
