What Really Happened To Terror Fabulous?

Terror Fabulous was one of the hottest dancehall DJs at the outset of the 1990s but just as his career was taking off he completely disappeared from the music industry.

[@simbaking6338]

'ACTION' was by far the biggest Jamaican duet of the 90 that became an international hits...Its still played all obver the world even at clubs.

[@bongoeshebantu6713]

Greatly underrated... Terror Siddung pon di riddim like a lizard pon a limb ... Talent kyaah dun. Love you King Fabulous One of Jamaica's finest 🖤

[@douglasjoseph2097]

One of Jamaica 🇯🇲 greatest dancehall artist

[@jahchild72]

It sad to see and let our greats fall along the way without giving a helping hand 😔

[@shermainehazle1820]

Growing up in the 90s you would hear Terror Fabulous on every riddim, and all his songs are big hits and will always be. He doesn’t even need to make new music. He’s one of those artist where you can get a full night‘s performance from him with no additional artist, no additional songs. I wish him well

Thank you Reggae Appreciation Society for this update on Terror Fabulous. Much respect. I wish him well. Is a great artist with a unique and wonderful voice

[@MITCHIGANZGADGETS-gu7hx]

One of Jamaicas baddest..dnt kno why the industry gave up on him..still a big start fabulous no matter what..u put in the work

[@sweetdeadlygyallala805]

As a 80s baby and 90s kid I grew up with his music although I never knew that he disappeared from the music scene for over ten years.

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

Reminds me of Dennis Brown. Living in times when dancehall was overshadowing everything else, I lost touch with Roots Reggae in much of the 90s and 2000s only discovering in the 2010s that Dennis Brown had passed away over a decade ago..

[@sexilyps]

Thanks for featuring this artist he is by far one of my favorites to date. It would be so amazing if he could return the stage or studio ❤

[@nyceflix]

I interviewed Terror. He was very polite and mild mannered. Insiders I know have said 'mental health'. Bless up.

[@multigeneralking]

Yes bless up mi dj terror fabulous. We met over don one studio in Brooklyn 1995. Fabulous is a genuine brother clean heart yute. Him never hype those days all when him tune Hot 🔥 a dancehall. Respect to the pioneer terror fabulous

[@Jay-hr3rh]

I met this man in person in Boston, Massachusetts, many years ago. He was wearing a black Amani Suit. It really saddens me to see what became of him.

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

I first got wind of Terror Fabulous reading thru a biography of Nadine Sutherland a few years back actually... He's made a notable contribution to the development of dancehall in the 90s

Bless up Terror and so glad to know that you are still making a good living from your music. Clear, clear favourite in the UK dancehall world. Blessings and much appreciation Reggae Appreciation Society ❤💛💚🖤

[@loveheals6184]

"Action" was hot and played everywhere even venues that strictly played Hip-Hop and R&B. "Gangster's Anthem" was my jam, though. I hope he gets the care he needs and that he's still fulfilled. I recall being confused about who was Buju and who he was.

[@777sweet]

My spirit is telling me he got fixed. Look how he was popular and music was popping. He just vanished like that….bipolar disorder doesn’t really make you go out like that. If so, it would’ve showed up in the beginning of his career. Jealously and envy is a big thing. Since he parted with Dave Kelly his life went left. Stayed prayed up.

[@mimiiofosu642]

With respect, as a bipolar sufferer myself, you have no idea what you're talking about. Frank Bruno never returned to the ring once he had his bipolar crisis and was on medication. Mental health problems are wide, and can affect people in different ways, regardless of the diagnosis.

Terror wasn't a coke head. Him live a Portsmouth in a place called Belgium. The man Tek up the niabingi vow before understanding what it meant. People that was afraid of his rise did a few things. Conversation we might have to talk to buju about.

He was diagnosed with Bi polar when he was 15, he hated taking the medications because he told dave kelly it made him unable to sleep when he take the medication and especially when touring, so he stopped taking it and things went downhill, sne day he went to king jammys and chilling even fight bounty for no reason

[@jasonwilliams0306]

Terro - Commander B on Choice FM got me into Terro when Choice FM was Choice FM, immediately I thought it was Buju, indeed, Terro style was heavily influenced by the Gargamel, Bi-poplar is still manic depression and is the Crown Chakra - eat everything that is Purple for the Crown like egg plant+ the depression means the pressure is affecting the Chakra system which is your central nervous system, whatever triggered Terro he still pulls through which is his testament, we don't know how sum one got to where they are - many artist like Junior Marvin+ and regular people all have bouts of depression - Terro delivered his messages like he was supposed to and this presentation reminds all of us that the message is in the music, big up Terro, yes you are fabulous - t-ankhs for the memories - big up to all those connected with JA and beyond And the beat goes on

Is he from st Thomas or Portmore ?"

[@MickSupper]

Saw you flashed up Cutty Ranks. I definitely wouldn't consider him to be ragga. In my opinion ragga doesn't just mean digital dancehall reggae. Mid 80s was very different than the nineties, just as the 90s is a lot different than dancehall in the 2000s. Maybe I'm wrong, but there are huge differences between decades in dancehall.

[@evertonthomas5432]

I've been a fan of T. Fabulous since I first heard him. To say he copied Buju Blanton's voice I think is unfair. The man had his own schtick.

They pulled his last album from Apple music in march of 2014

Terror fabulous, one of the first wave of studio artist that never cut his teeth on sound systems, but was a natural recording artist, was there an incident where he was supposed to do halftime Super Bowl with Nadine Sutherland, but for some reason he rejected it, and that was the beginning of his disappearance, can anybody shed any light on that, all in all truly great dancehall legend 🔥🔥🔥💯
