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 Wizkid has reacted to the reported clash between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez.
Wizkid took to social media to mock Burna Boy, making controversial remarks and referencing Sean Diddy Combs.
His comments have since sparked reactions online, with fans divided over the ongoing tension between the artists.
Nigerian gospel singer Moses Bliss has reacted to the public backlash he faced following a request he made to graphic designers.
It can be noted that the singer took to social media asking for a graphic designer to create a flyer, which later turned into a challenge that many criticised, stating it undervalued creatives.
Moses Bliss has now issued an apology, saying “I sincerely apologize to every graphic designer who felt disrespected or undervalued… that was never my intention.”
He added “The goal was to give creatives a platform to showcase their work, not to undermine their value.”
Nigerian DJ, DJ Neptune has expressed concern about the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the music industry and how it could affect jobs.
It can be noted that similar concerns have previously been raised online, especially on platforms like Twitter, where many fear AI could replace artists and producers.
He wrote “AI is quietly about to retire the entire music production and mastering industry. I have seen scary things tonight. God help all of us in this ecosystem.”
He further shared how advanced AI tools are already capable of producing high-quality music, raising questions about the future of human creativity in the industry.
