Singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has said he might get stabbed if he gives details of his fallout with his former label boss D’Prince, brother of music executive Don Jazzy.
Ruger said this in a post on his X account on Thursday in which he added that he appreciates that his former record label, Jonzing World, brought him to the limelight, but he could not renew his contract because the label did not push his brand as much as he wanted to be pushed.
He accused his former record label boss, D’Prince, of abandoning him and using his music earnings to hunt for new talents.
Ruger said he has more to say but is scared that he might get stabbed if he divulged more about the record label.
He wrote, “As much as I’m very appreciative of the fact that Jonzing world introduced me to the world, I just couldn’t continue with them because they got too comfortable with the money they were making from me and couldn’t push me further as I wanted to be pushed. Was supposed to renegotiate the contract but I couldn’t imagine 5 years more without action.
“Dey use my money Dey fund new artist, leaving me in the dark, not being transparent. I just laugh. How e be now?
“Many things to talk but dem fit go wait for me for Ikoyi link bridge stab me wotowoto.”
Ruger confirmed his departure from the label in an Instagram post on February 9.
Ruge, 24, rose to fame with the song ‘Bounce’ after joining the label in 2021 and he released his debut EP, Pandemic in the same year.
