Nigerian singer Terry Apala has sparked conversations online after openly declaring that he would never allow his partner to attend a public gym.
Speaking during an interview on Echo Room hosted by reality star Teddy A, the Apala Disco crooner explained that most women go to gyms not for fitness, but to attract attention and make social media content.
“I will not allow my partner to go to the gym. I was a member of iFitness VGC so I’ve been there. I saw what was going down. I feel like ladies nowadays are just going to the gym to just vibe and do videos. They’re just vibing, they’re not there to actually work out,” Terry said.
The singer, who insisted he was speaking from personal experience, recounted his time in different gyms.
“If they really want to work out, they won’t be focused on doing videos. They are just there to seduce men because some men also go to the gym to look for women. I’m speaking from experience. I also once registered with a gym in Megamound Estate. I saw things there. Girls go there to do all manner of things,” he added.
While acknowledging that a few women genuinely work out, Terry maintained that many only show up for the “vibe” rather than fitness.
“A lot of ladies are just at the gym to have fun. Maybe few ladies are going to the gym to actually work out, but many of them are just going there to enjoy the vibe,” he concluded.
Terry Apala’s statement has since stirred debates among fans, with many weighing in on whether his stance is overly protective or a reflection of reality.
