- Ruger has opened up on leaving his former record label, Jonzing World which is owned by D’Prince.
- The singer who left the record label in February of 2024 said they got too comfortable making money off him without being enthusiastic about helping him grow bigger.
- Ruger added that he wouldn’t share more detail for fear of being stabbed.
Nigerian singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, said he appreciates that his former record label, Jonzing World, brought him to the limelight, but he could not renew his contract because the label did not push his brand as much as he wanted to be pushed.
He accused his former record label boss, D’Prince, of abandoning him and using his music earnings to hunt for new talents.
Ranting in a series of posts on X on Thursday, April 11, Ruger said he has more to say but is scared that he might get stabbed if he divulges more about the record label.
Ruger wrote:
“As much as I’m very appreciative of the fact that Jonzing world introduced me to the world, I just couldn’t continue with them because they got too comfortable with the money they were making from me and couldn’t push me further as I wanted to be pushed. Was supposed to renegotiate the contract but I couldn’t imagine 5 years more without action.”
“I complained, I got angry, some people tell me say no be so dem Dey do things. I still go back HQ go collect fake hugs and handshakes.
Nothing still change. I wan mad”
“Dey use my money Dey fund new artist, leaving me in the dark, not being transparent. I just laugh. How e be now?
“Many things to talk but dem fit go wait for me for ikoyi link bridge stab me wotowoto.”
Ruger left Jonzing World on February 6, 2024, following the expiration of his contract.
In an Instagram post, he said he is grateful to Jonzing World and D’Prince but it was time for him to take a bet on himself
