Michael Adebayo Olayinka popularly known as Ruger, is a Nigerian Afrobeat singer, and songwriter.
Ruger revealed the main reason behind his one eye signature look in an interview.
He said” My name is Ruger. I don’t shoot literally but musically I shoot. The way a sniper closes one eye to aim and hit their target is how I am with my music, one eye is shut so I can focus well, aim and hit right with my songs and projects.”
Reacting to his colleague Rema going back to school after he took a break for his music career, Ruger said his school plans are still on the shelves but not a closed chapter.
“Rema recently went back to school, I know. However, my plans towards furthering your education is personal. I’d do it when I want to do it and I guess you will know when it happens,” he stated.
Asked if there no pressure his parents concerning your education, the Dior Crooner answered thus, “Honestly, I won’t call it ‘pressure’. My parents are understanding of the situation and encouraged me. In the period of seeking admission into the university, I got working, just to gain knowledge from other fields. I worked at the popular Computer Village in Lagos. I started as an apprentice at a store that fixed phones before becoming an engineer after some months. I gained all that knowledge, learnt some new things, so there wasn’t any pressure whatsoever and by the third year, I met D’Prince.”
Ruger came into lime-light 2021 after he signed a record deal with D’Prince “Jonzing world record” with a publishing and distribution deal with Columbia Records, and Sony Music Entertainment, U.K division.
