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 Timaya has spoken about elections, urging Nigerians to think carefully about their choices and the longer-term consequences of their votes.
Speaking on the state of the country, he said Nigerians have choices and should be intentional about them.
“Nobody dey advise anybody. If na wetin you dey find to chop now put for your pocket, na your business. No be one day o. Na another 4 years of hardship. If you know what’s good, you have to vote right.”
“I dey travel abroad dey see wetin dey happen na. Rich people dey abroad dey no dey stay for Nigeria, these politicians. Dey just dey work for Nigeria.”
Nigerian singer Rema has sparked reactions online after revealing the streamers he watches for entertainment.
The singer shared a list of popular streamers he follows, naming Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat and Okiki.
“The only streamers I fvck with are Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat, and Okiki.”
After he mentioned his list, Nigerians reacted and shared how some notable Nigerian streamers were not on the list, with many calling out their favourites for not being recognised by the singer.
Nigerian singer and producer Young Jonn has made headlines after calling on his colleague, Blaqbonez, for a possible collaboration.
The singer Young Jonn took to social media and excitedly shared “I need like 5 bad friends way we go dey move in bulk!” Young Jonn wrote.
Blaqbonez then replied, wanting to join: “Oya, make we dey together, sing as one.”
The singer replied with an old post from 2015 that said, “Go sing as one with Coublon.”
