Why I Aim For My Colleagues To See Me As A Challenge – Ruger
Renowned singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, known as Ruger, expresses his desire for his peers to view him as a formidable presence in the music industry.
He elaborated on this aspiration during a recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast hosted by Adesope Olajide, where he discussed the inspiration behind his chart-topping track ‘Asiwaju.’ In the song, Ruger confidently delivers clever verses in a blend of Pidgin and Yoruba languages.
Speaking on the inspiration behind the braggadocious track, he said, “It [‘Asiwaju’] is everything. It’s a viby song. It’s also a personal message because I don’t want anyone to look at me as not dangerous.
“When people don’t see you as a threat, it’s bad. There are a lot of artists that are in that category. Sorry and it’s bad, honestly. When you are about to release music and nobody is shaking; you announced a single/project release date and nobody is bothered. It’s really bad.
“You’ve to make yourself a threat. People have to anticipate your release whether it’s good or bad. That’s the level I’m on right now. It’s deliberate. I want my colleagues to see me as a threat. You can’t be a softy. You either be a monster or you be food. Many people are foods right now. The music business taught be to be hard. It’s not all love, mehn. I can’t lie to you. Just follow your own pace and be that monster.”
Ruger expressed that he’s come to understand that only a select few truly appreciate him for who he is. He emphasized that rapper Dremo is his sole friend in the music industry.
A video has surfaced online, capturing the moment Nigerian singer Davido allegedly slapped one of his mmember so staff simply identified as ‘iamSegxy’ during his wedding ceremony.
The incident, which took place just a week after Davido’s highly publicised wedding to Chioma, has ignited a flurry of reactions across social media platforms.
The footage shows the man bowing to Davido immediately after the alleged slap. Notably, Chioma, alongside media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and singer B-Red, were present during the incident but appeared unfazed.
The video has garnered significant attention, with many expressing shock at the occurrence.
However, the purported victim (iamSegxy) has come forward to refute the allegations.
Taking to social media, he clarified the situation, stating, “As regards the fake video circulating on the internet, you are all commenting on something you don’t know. My boss didn’t slap me and has never slapped any of his staff. He was only cautioning me to allow the boy. The boy in question appeared from nowhere and I tried to stop him. Besides, my boss is my blood and family, I understand him so well without a word from his mouth. 30BG for life. Happy married life, boss.”
This clarification has added a new dimension to the controversy, with many supporters rallying behind Davido. Despite this, the incident continues to trend, sparking debates on the dynamics between celebrities and their staff.

Sheila, the estranged wife of singer Davido’s logistics manager, Israel DMW, has stated she has no regrets about calling it quits on her marriage to DMW.
She expressed her position in a recent podcast conversation with her friend Ginika.
On Wednesday, a tape of the interview went viral on social media.
Sheila did, however, acknowledge that her ex-husband “damaged” her by including her mother and friend in their divorcing story.
“I did not regret any decision I have taken because it was all bound to happen. I believe strongly that God is in charge of all that happens in our lives whether positive or negative, there’s a master planner behind everything,” she said.
“But I’ve had my moments of sadness. I feel so bad about the whole thing especially the way my friend and my mum were dragged into it [our divorce]. That has hurt me. But generally, I have zero regrets.”
Recall that Israel and Sheila tied the knot on October 20, 2022, at a traditional ceremony that was held in Benin City.
However, just eight months after their opulent wedding, the couple called it quits due to accusations of adultery and domestic abuse made by both sides.
