Ruger and Joeboy Hint at Rivalry as They Prepare to Drop New Albums
Nigerian singers Ruger and Joeboy appeared to be caught in a subtle rivalry on social media ahead of their album releases on March 28. On Thursday, March 27, both artists shared cryptic posts on X that seemed to be aimed at each other.
Ruger kicked things off by bragging that his sophomore album, Blown Boy Ru, would force some of his peers to rethink their work, while others wouldn’t even get the chance since they were releasing their albums on the same day.
He wrote, “Some people will have to go back to the studio after they hear this album. Some won’t even have the chance because they’re dropping on the same day as me. Sad!”
Fans quickly speculated that Ruger was throwing shade at Joeboy, whose album Viva Lavida is also set to drop on March 28. Not long after, Joeboy responded with a cryptic post of his own, suggesting that some artists were trying to compete with him.
He wrote, “The sky is big enough for everyone to fly, but some people are choosing to fly right beside me. Lol. I get it — I inspire you.” Fans were quick to link Joeboy’s post to Ruger’s earlier statement.
This isn’t the first time Nigerian stars have clashed over release dates. In May 2022, fans of Burna Boy and Davido went head-to-head online after both artists dropped their hit singles Last Last and Stand Strong on the same day. Davido initially celebrated when Stand Strong topped the Apple Music chart, but Burna Boy later took the lead with Last Last.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
