Touring Has Strained my Love Life and Family Ties – Ruger

Popular Nigerian artist Michael Adebayo Olayinka, known as Ruger, has opened up about how his hectic touring schedule has negatively impacted his personal life.

Speaking on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Ruger said his romantic life worsened after he rebranded with a new look—returning to black hair and a low-cut style—which drew increased attention from women. Despite the challenges, he expressed a strong desire to settle down soon.

“Being on the road has really affected my love life. It became worse after I went back to my black hair and lowcut coz these girls have been over rushing me. But deep down, I really wanna settle down soon,” he wrote.

Ruger also revealed that his frequent tours have limited his time with family.

“I hardly even see my family coz trust me, I’m the most booked artist in this country. People want to see me on stage around the world. They want that Ruger sauce every month,” he added.
