Nigerian singer and eccentric performer Terry G has finally responded to ongoing comparisons between him and street-hop star Portable, and he’s not having any of it.
In a fiery post that’s got the internet buzzing, Terry G boldly stated that likening him to Portable is not just unfair but downright disrespectful — insisting that his own brand of chaos was always purposeful and artistically driven.
“Stop comparing me to Portable. My madness was intentional, well-packaged, and came with hits,” Terry G said. “I brought a new sound, I set trends. There’s a difference between being controversial and being reckless.”

• He produced his own beats,
• Pioneered a sound that influenced an entire era in Nigerian music,
• And maintained professionalism despite his eccentric image.

Why He Feels the Portable Comparison Is “Disrespectful”
Portable, who has gained fame for his street-style persona and unpredictable behavior, has been in the news for controversies, police run-ins, and viral outbursts. While many fans see a resemblance between the two due to their chaotic public images, Terry G insists there’s no real similarity beyond the surface.
“My music had structure. I was not fighting police or jumping gates. I was making timeless bangers and setting trends. Don’t disrespect my legacy,” he added.

Legacy Talk or Clout?
