Fans eagerly awaiting new music from Afro-dancehall cum Afrobeats star, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, well known as Ruger, may have to exercise a little more patience, as his record label, BlownBoy Entertainment, has revealed that the singer has been navigating personal and legal challenges behind the scenes.
  
In a recent statement, the label addressed growing concerns over the singer famously known for wearing an eye-patch absent from the music scene. BlownBoy Entertainment disclosed that the Dior crooner has been dealing with the aftermath of a legal dispute involving a former romantic partner.
  
According to the entertainment outfit, Ruger’s recent silence and delay in releasing new material are linked to an ongoing lawsuit allegedly filed by an ex-girlfriend, who is reportedly seeking damages over claims of emotional distress.
  
“Ruger has been facing personal challenges after someone he dated decided to sue him for alleged emotional distress and damages,” the label said in a statement.
  
While the label did not provide further details about the case, it noted that the situation has affected some of the artiste’s professional activities in recent months, including plans for new music releases.
  
The revelation comes amid growing anticipation from fans that have been looking forward to fresh music release from the singer, whose unique sound and energetic performances have made him one of Nigeria’s most successful contemporary music stars.
 
Since launching BlownBoy Entertainment following his departure from Jonzing World, the Pandemic, The Second Wave, and Ru The World albums maker has continued to strengthen his position in the Afrobeats landscape with hit records such as Asiwaju, Bounce, Girlfriend, and Toma Toma. His distinctive style and consistent chart success have earned him a loyal fan base across Africa and beyond.
