According to reports, Terry G overstayed his time, and even said if he’s not allowed to finish his performance, he’ll cause trouble. Suddenly, the DJ played Olamide's song and Terry went ballistic. He crossed over, gave the young DJ a slap that made him see stars , smashed the microphone on the stage and left’

DJ Phreez who happens to be a trainee DJ under Dj Jimmy Jatt was the one playing and was unlucky to have been at the receiving end of the ‘hot’ slakpata.
