Nigerian music star Michael Adebayo Olayinka, professionally known as Ruger, has publicly dismissed rumors of a rift with fellow artist David Adeleke (Davido). The speculation emerged after a Davido supporter claimed Ruger’s career would stagnate until he apologized publicly to the DMW boss.

A fan posted on X (formerly Twitter): “When you’re ready to apologize and beg Davido publicly, your song will enter No 1.” Ruger countered by questioning the basis of the claim, asking: “And did Davido tell you I did anything wrong to him?”
Ruger Affirms Positive Relationship
In a subsequent statement, Ruger expressed affection for Davido and denied any conflict between them. He emphasized ongoing support from Davido’s team as evidence of their positive relationship. The “Bounce” singer stated: “I love Davido and I know he loves me too. People on his team still repost my stuff.”
Ruger made his position clear regarding the rumors: “I will never believe this agenda that he doesn’t f**k with me except he says it to my face or publicly. But if him talk am, everywhere go first blur sha.” This translates to Ruger requiring direct communication from Davido before acknowledging any conflict.
The singer’s statement highlights the importance of transparent communication in resolving celebrity rumors while affirming mutual respect between the two afrobeats stars.
