Singer Michael Olayinka aka Ruger has said that he is walking on the path of being a threat to his colleagues.

According to him, it’s bad when someone is not seen as a threat in the industry.

He stated this while explaining the inspiration behind his hit song ‘Asiwaju’ in the latest episode of the Afrobeats Podcast hosted by Adesope Olajide.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the hit track, he said, ‘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,” he said. 

Ruger said he has come to realise that only few people love him for who he is, stressing that rapper Dremo is the only friend he has in the music industry.

“Every girl I take back to my room, because I’m a very straightforward person and when I ask do you have a boyfriend, no girl in my life since when I blew up has ever told me that I have a boyfriend, except one.

“You girls lie too much I swear to God. Most of you are in a situationship or relationship,” he declared with a mischievous grin.

Rugar’s revelations were met with a chorus of cheers and laughter from the audience.

Famous Nigerian singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, expressed his view that Nigerian girls, though good, may not hold the title of the world’s best women.

He made the remarks during a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos.

“I can say for sure, 100% Nigeria doesn’t have the best women in the world. Yes, that’s a fact. No man that has been around the world would just say that Nigeria has the best women.

He said: “We have good women but we don’t have the best. You think there are white women that don’t have ‘booties’? They lied to us that white girls don’t have booty. Hmm, you need to see. I have seen firsthand.”

The ‘Bienvenue’ vocalist also said he would never perform with female fans on stage in Nigeria as he does abroad because “Nigerian girls are liars.”

He said: “Personally, I don’t think I would get any girl on stage in Nigeria. Because most people that were criticising me for dancing with female fans on stage at that time were Nigerians. I don’t want any problems man. I will just do my time and leave.

He added: “Actually, I don’t want problems with Nigerians. My people are toxic. And most of the girls in Nigeria are in relationships so I don’t want someone to come for me. Nigerian girls are liars actually.”

Nigerian Afrobeats singer-songwriter Adebayo Olayinka aka Ruger has opened up on how his confidence got D’Prince attention before getting signed on to Mavins records.

In a recent interview with Apple Music 1’s Nandi Madida spoke on working with D’Prince, and how he manages to stay grounded.

“Shout out to the Prince you know, that’s one of his great talents, scouting for talent, knowing exactly where everyone’s strengths are. But I think he saw the confidence, because I’ve always been a confident person, even when I was back on the streets and all of that,” he said.

Continuing, he said, “So I feel like that’s what he saw and said like ‘someone like this is going to fight the battles of this music.’ I had the perfect voice to put myself out there so why not? He put me on and big thanks to him.”

On staying grounded, Ruger said, “I stay praying you know? Most of the time I like to just be by myself just reflecting on whatever I’ve done, whatever I’m doing to know when I’m doing something wrong or right. It’s important to always sit down and reflect because sometimes if you’re just living life nonchalantly, as it comes, sometimes you can make some mistakes and you don’t even worry and you don’t even know why you made that mistake you just moving on. So you have to have the time where you sit down and just re-evaluate and reflect and know where you have to do better and change or do more.”
