Afrobeats star Michael Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has expressed how his constant touring schedule has negatively affected his personal relationships.
In a recent social media post, Ruger revealed that frequent travels for performances have made it difficult for him to maintain romantic and family connections.
“Being on the road has really affected my love life. It got worse after I went back to my black hair and low cut because these girls have been all over me. But deep down, I really want to settle down soon,” he wrote.
The Bounce crooner added that his busy work life has also distanced him from family. “I hardly even see my family because, trust me, I am the most booked artist in this country. People want to see me perform around the world. They want that Ruger sauce every month,” he said.
Ruger, who rose to fame under D’Prince’s Jonzing World in 2020, gained massive recognition with his 2021 hit single Bounce and debut EP Pandemic. His unique blend of Afrobeats, hip-hop, and dancehall continues to earn him global acclaim.
