Nigerian hip hop star, Terry G a.k.a. Hitman, has disclosed that
Nigerian singers, who smoke anything from cigarettes to prohibited
drugs, use ‘supplements’ to wash the chemicals out of their bodies to
stay healthy.

The
25-year old music act who hails from Benue State, North Central
Nigeria, was a performing guest artiste at Emzor wellness race organised
by Emzor Pharmaceuticals Company recently.

“We use supplements to
wash drugs out of the system. There are supplements to that effect. We
also do a lot of exercises and that’s why I am here to support Emzor in
their race advocacy benefits,” Terry G said in a press briefing shortly
before the Emzor wellness race started.



The Executive Director,
Emzor subsidiary, Mr. Marcel Ezeoke, explained that his company has
consistently organised the race to sensitise Nigerians about benefits of
running.

He said: “We believe that health is wealth and a healthy
nation is capable of growing wealth in all sectors of the economy thus
the monthly contest serves as an avenue for us collectively to exercise
once a month as a big family.”

The 19th edition of the 8km
marathon takes place every third Saturday of the month, he said. It was
learnt that last Saturday, 1068 athletes participated with 420 of them
professional athletes.

Terry G was born in Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria on the 17 March 1986.

He
is the first child in a family of four. He is a talented and successful
entertainer, instrumentalist, singer and music producer.

His unique style, called chante chante, it was learnt, is the result of a lifetime of musical influence.

He
grew up in a talented musical family. His parents exposed him to a
wealth of music as a child, all of which influenced his development.

At
age five, it is said, he started playing the drum, later he began to
play the piano and bass guitar, which he continued with for many years
before he finally took the bold step of pursuing a professional career
in music at the age of 16.

After realising that making music was
his main goal he switched to circular music and worked as a back up
artiste for Faze of Plantashun Boiz for two years.

Shortly after
he began to showcase his talent in various realms across the city of
Lagos and beyond. He has since produced 9ICE, 2-SHOT, TIMAYA, NAETO C,
AWILO, YQ, and late the DAGRIN.

Terry G has also gone through some
scandals. Early last year, he made headlines for allegedly stealing
beats from fellow Nigerian musician Ditty Blaq. He denied the
allegations.

He is known to be a heavy non stop smoker.
