I’m alive and well, Terry G dismisses death rumour

Apako Master, also known as Terry G, has dismissed as wicked rumour his supposed death, assuring his fans through his social media account of his wellbeing.

‎In a post shared recently, the veteran singer made it clear that he is alive, well and working,  putting to rest any circulating claims about his death in emphatic fashion.

He wrote that the reports were “completely false” and urged people to stop sharing the unverified information.

‎The rumour of his demise had taken hold on social media, prompting concern among fans of the man behind hit tracks like “Akpako Master” and “Free Madness”.

At one point, followers were flooded with speculation and worried comments wondering if the street-hop icon was indeed gone.

‎According to the artiste, the onset of the rumours began when a profile or page purported by shared the news, and before long it spread via WhatsApp groups, X (formerly Twitter) threads and Instagram stories.

Terry G described the story as “viral nonsense” and said he was disappointed that so many believed it without checking with him.

‎He went on to thank those who reached out privately to check on his welfare, saying their messages showed him how much his music and his persona have been appreciated over the years.

At the same time, he asked others to be mindful of spreading misinformation. He stressed that false death reports could cause unnecessary distress among family, friends and fans.

‎Terry G also used the opportunity to highlight that he is working on new material and remains active in the music industry, contrary to the idea that his career might have been cut short by the alleged incident.

He emphasised that when he posts on his social media handles it is real, and that people should trust content coming directly from him.

‎

‎He encouraged fans to stay tuned for upcoming announcements and collaborations, reaffirming his commitment to his craft, and implicitly dispelling any notion that his career was ending.

‎

‎The incident mirrors a recurring trend where celebrities are the subject of fake death reports, often circulated without verification and for reasons ranging from clickbait to hoaxes.

‎

‎For Terry G, whose real name is Gabriel Oche Amanyi and who rose to prominence in Nigeria’s music scene with his eccentric style and energetic performances, the dispelling of the rumour is a reaffirmation of his ongoing presence.

‎

‎Fans of the “Akpako Master” responded quickly to his post, flooding comments with relief and well-wishes.

Some even shared screenshots of the earlier viral message as “proof” of how the rumour had swirled before his correction. Others praised him for showing up and putting the matter to rest publicly.
