Terry G Addresses Claim of Stealing AY.com’s ‘Pass Me Your Love’
Nigerian music star Terry G has responded to long-standing claims that he stole the hit song ‘Pass Me Your Love’ from fellow artist AY.com. The controversy, which has lingered for years in the Nigerian entertainment scene, resurfaced recently prompting the eccentric singer-producer to set the record straight.
In a candid interview, Terry G explained that he did not steal the song as alleged. According to him, ‘Pass Me Your Love’ was a collaborative effort in which he played a major creative role, particularly in production and vocal support. He emphasized that his contribution went beyond the studio, as he also featured on the song and helped push it to mainstream success.
Terry G stated, “I didn’t steal AY.com’s song. I was part of the process from beginning to end. I produced the beat, did the hook, and even helped promote it. It was a joint success.” He went on to clarify that any rift that may have existed between them in the past stemmed from misunderstandings and lack of proper credit structures at the time—not theft.
‘Pass Me Your Love’, released in the mid-2000s, became a street anthem and catapulted both AY.com and Terry G into national spotlight. However, the aftermath was marked by tension, with AY.com allegedly accusing Terry G of overshadowing him and hijacking the song’s popularity.
Fans have long debated the ownership and creative rights surrounding the hit, but Terry G’s recent statements aim to put those doubts to rest. He called for unity in the music industry and stressed the importance of giving proper recognition to collaborative efforts.
As Terry G continues his musical journey, the artist is also using his platform to advocate for better music documentation and credit-sharing practices in Nigeria’s music scene—ensuring that issues like this are avoided in the future.
