Ruger says he Gave His First Paycheck to his Church
Afrobeats sensation Ruger, born Michael Adebayo Olayinka, recently shared an inspiring story about his early days in the music industry. During an interview with VJ Adams, the singer revealed that he donated his very first paycheck—₦500,000—to his church, choosing not to spend a dime of it on himself.
His next payment? A cool ₦1 million, which he admits made him feel like he had “arrived.” That windfall led to a shopping spree, but the real shock came when even bigger paychecks started rolling in—all within his first year in the game.
Ruger also got candid about how money changed him. “Money changes everybody,” he said. “No one can say it didn’t change them. When you start making more, the way you think, act, and handle situations shifts. Some people stop stressing over small things once they’re financially secure.”
The “Bounce” hitmaker dreams of reaching a level of success where he no longer feels the need to react to negativity—much like his idol, Jay-Z. “Look at Jay-Z—he doesn’t even respond to insults because he’s secure in his success. That’s where I’m headed,” Ruger said with a laugh.
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.
