Michael Adebayo Olayinka, better known by his stage name Ruger, is a Nigerian musician. He expressed gratitude to his previous record company, Jonzing World, for putting him on the map, but stated he was unable to extend his deal because the label did not promote his brand to the extent that he desired.

 

He said that D’Prince, the head of his former record label, had abandoned him and was using the money from his music to find other artists.

 

Ruger vented on X on Thursday, saying he had more to say but was afraid of getting stabbed if he revealed more information about the record company.

 

As much as I appreciate that Jonzing World introduced me to the world, they became too comfortable with the money they were generating from me and were unable to push me as far as I needed to be pushed, therefore I was unable to stay with them,” the man wrote. Was meant to renegotiate the contract, but I couldn’t see going another five years without anything happening.

 

“They take my money.” They don’t disclose things to me, they don’t fund up-and-coming artists. I merely chuckle. How are you doing right now?

I have a lot to say, but they’re going to wait for me to cross the Ikoyi Link Bridge before stabbing me.

 

Ruger departed Jonzing World on February 6, 2024, when his contract expired, according to the DAILY POST.

 

He expressed his gratitude to D’Prince and Jonzing World in an Instagram post, but he also stated it was time for him to place a wager on himself.
