Nigerian singer Terry Apala has openly credited his fellow musician, Wizkid, for a transformative impact on his career. In a candid interview, Apala shared how a single verse from Wizkid on the remix of his song "Apala Disco" massively altered his professional trajectory.
This collaboration not only elevated the song's reach but also saved Apala millions of naira that he would have otherwise spent on promotional activities.
"Wizkid changed my entire career with just one verse," Apala stated, emphasizing the profound effect of this partnership. He described it as a fortuitous turn of events, likening Wizkid's involvement to a divine intervention that provided a shortcut in the competitive music industry.
"It’s like you’re planning to spend millions to promote your song and Wizkid now jumped on the song; it will automatically reduce the promotion budget. That’s how God works," he explained.
The collaboration came at a crucial time for Apala, who had been navigating the challenges of the music industry for years. The inclusion of Wizkid, a globally recognized artist, on "Apala Disco" brought unprecedented attention to the track, propelling it to new heights and expanding its audience reach. This strategic move not only enhanced the song's popularity but also solidified Apala's presence in the music scene.
In addition to the remix of "Apala Disco," Terry Apala collaborated with Wizkid and Seyi Vibes, alongside DJ Tunez, further cementing his relationship with these influential artists. This alliance has opened doors for Apala, providing him with opportunities to showcase his talent on larger platforms and connect with a broader fan base.
Despite the success, Apala has expressed a sense of apprehension about releasing new music, particularly in December 2024. He humorously remarked that "Wizkid owns December," indicating the dominance of Wizkid's releases during this period.
