Nigerian music star Michael Adebayo Olayinka, better known as Ruger, has opened up about the personal toll that fame and a busy touring schedule have taken on his love life. The singer, who is widely recognized for his energetic stage presence and chart-topping hits, shared on X (formerly Twitter) that constantly being on the road has made it difficult to sustain a romantic relationship.
Ruger admitted that things got even more intense after he decided to rebrand and return to a low-cut hairstyle. According to him, this new look attracted more attention from women, making his already complicated love life even more challenging. “Being on the road has really affected my love life. It became worse after I went back to my black hair and lowcut coz these girls have been over rushing me. But deep down, I really wanna settle down soon,” he wrote.
The singer, known for hit songs like “Asiwaju” and “Bounce,” also revealed that the demanding nature of his career has strained his relationship with his family. Touring and performing around the world have left him with little time to spend with his loved ones. “I hardly even see my family coz trust me, I’m the most booked artist in this country. People want to see me on stage around the world. They want that Ruger sauce every month,” he added.
Ruger’s confession sheds light on the sacrifices that come with stardom. While fans see the glamorous side of music success, his words paint a picture of how fame can create distance from the people and things that matter most. Despite all this, Ruger made it clear that beneath the fame, he still longs for love and stability, hinting that settling down is something he genuinely desires in the near future.
