Fans React As Ruger Takes Time Off Music And Reveals The Real Reason

Nigerian singer Michael Adebayo, better known as Ruger, has temporarily stepped away from music to address an ongoing legal dispute involving his former girlfriend.

In a statement released on Thursday, the singer’s record label disclosed that Ruger’s absence from the music scene is connected to the legal matter, which has required his full attention in recent months.

According to the label, the issue arose after his ex-partner filed a lawsuit against him, alleging emotional distress and seeking damages.

As a result, the artiste has decided to put his music-related activities on hold while he focuses on resolving the case.

Ruger, popularly known for hit songs such as Bounce and Asiwaju, has remained largely silent on the matter as the legal proceedings continue.

However, his management assured fans that he is expected to return to active music engagements in August.

Part of the statement read: “Ruger has been dealing with a number of personal challenges following a lawsuit filed by a former partner over alleged emotional distress and damages.”

Meanwhile, the singer recently opened up about a missed career opportunity involving renowned Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele.

Speaking during an interview with media personality VJ Adams, Ruger revealed his disappointment at missing the chance to feature in one of Akindele’s blockbuster movie projects several years ago.
