Ruger Faces Backlash for Tweet on Women Who Attend His Boat Cruise

Nigerian artist Michael Olayinka Adebayo, better known as Ruger, recently stirred up controversy with a tweet directed at women planning to board his boat. Although he has since deleted the tweet, it left many Netizens shocked and appalled.

Born on September 23, 1999, in Lagos, Nigeria, Ruger gained immense popularity in 2021 with his hit single “Bounce”. He is also known for other successful songs like “Girlfriend,” “Snapchat,” and “Dior”. He was discovered by D’Prince, who gave him the stage name “Ruger.”

In his now-removed post, Ruger made it clear that any woman wanting to be a passenger on his boat must be prepared to adjust her bikini. His words sparked outrage and discussions about boundaries and respect.

In his own words,

“Anything wey make you enter my boat go ilashe, your bikini must shift. No be only content you come shoot baby”

Some reactions to his post are:

@the_ayomikun asked: “How are you saying this in big 2024?”

@JajaPHD wrote: “If he makes this known to those he invites on his boat before they set sail or in advance like he has done with this tweet, how’s he a rapist?
This tweet would only be an issue if he doesn’t pre-inform his guests, no?”

@heymissjasmine added: “Someone that went on a podcast and talked about how Nigerian women are ugly . And how the only thing black women had to offer was a fat ass and he would rather be with a white woman cos they now have fat asses too. That Ruger? 😂😂”

@CRawkeen commented: “Person serious babe go enter boat go shoot dope content to chase the bag but Ruger go shift her pant because “I don tell you before” . Omo werey”
