‘Talented Nigerian artists not up to 5’ – Ruger
  • Ruger stated that most Nigerian artists are just singing for cruise.
  • He stated that those of them that are talented and doing proper music are not up to five, himself included.

Singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has stirred some controversy with his recent statement, asserting that Nigeria presently has less than five talented artists.

During a recent interview with Cool FM in Lagos, Ruger expressed his belief that a significant number of Nigerian artists are merely singing for the sake of “cruise”.

According to him, those of them who possess true talent and are creating quality music do not surpass five in number.
