Terry G ranked Burna Boy first among Nigerian artists, followed by Wizkid, Davido, Tiwa Savage, and Tems.
Throughout the conversation, Terry G distinguished between musicians generating commercial music and those creating what he refers to as “real music,” which is made for more than just digital consumption. When asked to name his top five Nigerian artists making “real music,” Terry G named Rema, Tems, Omah Lay, and Tiwa Savage.
