Nigerian singer and energetic performer Terry G has finally broken his silence over longstanding claims that he hijacked the popular song “Pass Me Your Love” from his colleague, AY.Com.

For years, Terry G faced criticism for performing the song—which originally featured him—at his shows. Many accused him of overshadowing AY.Com by repeatedly taking the song on tour and making it seem like his own.

But now, Terry G has set the record straight. In a recent post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, he called the allegations “pure ignorance.” He explained that as a featured artist on the track, he absolutely has the right to perform it anywhere.

“To those saying I stole ‘Pass Me Your Love’ from Ay.com— that’s pure ignorance,” Terry G wrote. “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 further clarified that he never tried to claim ownership of the track by putting it on his own album, stressing that it was always about collaboration, not competition.

Terry G also threw light on how the controversy may have impacted AY.Com’s 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, asserting his confidence and resilience.

It’s clear Terry G isn’t backing down—and he’s using this moment to remind fans that collaboration should never be mistaken for theft.
