The record label of Nigerian singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has revealed why he has been missing from the music scene.
The label explained that the ‘Bounce’ singer stepped back from music while dealing with personal and legal matters.
The statement claimed that an ex-girlfriend filed a lawsuit against the artiste, accusing him of causing ’emotional distress’ and seeking damages.
He explained that he has been away from the music scene due to a legal dispute involving a former partner, according to a statement released by his record label.
Providing details about the situation, the label said the legal case contributed to Ruger’s absence from the spotlight in recent months.
The statement partly read, ‘Ruger was caught up in a series of personal challenges after someone he dated decided to sue him for alleged ’emotional distress,’ and ‘damages.’
According to the label, the legal matter affected the singer’s activities and partly explains why fans have not seen much of him on the music scene recently.
Despite the setback, the record label confirmed that Ruger is preparing to make a return as the statement disclosed that the singer is expected to resume his music career and reconnect with fans in August.
The announcement comes amid growing curiosity among fans about the reason behind Ruger’s absence and when he would release new music.
