Nigerian singer, Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has expressed disappointment over the exclusion of his hit songs from Billboard’s recently released Top 50 Best Afrobeats Songs of All-Time list.
The list, compiled by Billboard staff, ranked 2Face Idibia’s “African Queen” as number one, while classics such as Timaya’s “Dem Mama,” Weird MC’s “Ijoya,” and Olu Maintain’s “Yahooze” were also featured.
However, Terry G’s popular tracks, including “Akpako Master,” “Free Madness,” and “Run Mad,” were noticeably absent.
