I might get stabbed if I speak – Ruger on fallout with former label boss, D’Prince
Nigerian singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, said he appreciates that his former record label, Jonzing World, brought him to the limelight, but he could not renew his contract because the label did not push his brand as much as he wanted to be pushed.
He accused his former record label boss, D’Prince, of abandoning him and using his music earnings to hunt for new talents.
Ranting in a series of posts on X on Thursday, Ruger said he has more to say but scared that he might get stabbed if he divulged more about the record label.
He wrote, “As much as I’m very appreciative of the fact that Jonzing world introduced me to the world, I just couldn’t continue with them because they got too comfortable with the money they were making from me and couldn’t push me further as I wanted to be pushed. Was supposed to renegotiate the contract but I couldn’t imagine 5 years more without action.
“Dey use my money Dey fund new artist, leaving me in the dark, not being transparent. I just laugh. How e be now?
“Many things to to talk but dem fit go wait for me for ikoyi link bridge stab me wotowoto.”
Newsreal recalls that Ruger left Jonzing World on February 6, 2024, following the expiration of his contract.
In an Instagram post, he said he was grateful to Jonzing World and D’Prince but it was time for him to take a bet on himself.
