Nigerian afrobeat sensation Ruger has temporarily stepped away from the music industry, his record label has confirmed. The label disclosed that the ‘Bounce’ hitmaker is currently entangled in a legal disagreement with an ex-girlfriend, which has prompted his hiatus.
According to an official statement released by the label, Ruger has been dealing with personal challenges after a former romantic partner filed a lawsuit against him. The ex-girlfriend is reportedly seeking compensation for what she describes as ’emotional distress’ and ‘damages’ caused by the singer.
The statement elaborated that this legal battle has forced Ruger to take a break from his musical activities. However, fans can look forward to his return, as the label assured that the artist is expected to resume his career in August.
Ruger’s management emphasized that the singer is using this time to focus on resolving the legal matters and regaining his mental well-being. They expressed confidence that he will come back stronger and more inspired.
