Nigerian music artist, Terry Apala, has revealed why he will never allow his partner to go to a public gym.

According to the Apala Disco hitmaker, a lot of women go to the gym to seduce men and make videos instead of working out.

Terry, who stated this in a recent interview with Echo Room hosted by reality star Teddy A, claimed that he was speaking from experience.

“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 of 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.

“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.

“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 expressed.

Popular AI robotic content creator, Jarvis, has finally disclosed why she is yet to marry Peller, her younger boyfriend.

Jarvis revealed this while speaking about her relationship with Peller, a controversial TikToker.

The 23-year-old, during a recent live TikTok stream, explained that Peller’s age is a significant factor delaying their marriage.

“Peller can change one day and say I am too old for him. I’m old enough for marriage but Peller’s age is slowing me down. We would have been married if he was older. I have to ensure that he grows up to a certain age that is right. I can’t pressure him to get married at this age,” she said.

In response, Peller insisted that he is ready for marriage, dismissing Jarvis’s concerns.

This comes after Jarvis, 23, confirmed her engagement to the 20-year-old TikToker during an interview with Channels TV in July 2025.
