Ruger Reveals How Global Touring Has Severely Strained His Love Life

Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Ruger (Michael Adebayo Olayinka), has offered a candid look into the personal costs of his surging career, sharing that his intense global touring schedule has made maintaining a stable love life extremely challenging.

The hitmaker, known for his unique sound and energetic stage presence, detailed the struggle to balance massive professional success with his private desires, confessing that constant travel has created a significant void in his romantic world.

Ruger noted the difficult paradox of his celebrity: while his career boom brings him closer to fans worldwide, it pushes him further from personal connections. He specifically pointed out that a recent change to his appearance reverting to his natural black hair and low-cut only amplified the issue, leading to an even greater flood of attention from women.

"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," the artist stated.

Despite the persistent attention, Ruger made it clear that his ultimate goal is stability, not fleeting encounters. He voiced a deep, genuine desire to move past the spotlight-driven chaos and find a permanent partner: "But deep down, I really wanna settle down soon."

Ruger, who proudly asserted he is "the most booked artist in this country" and highly sought after by fans globally, revealed that his commitment to his career demands more than just his romantic life. He admitted that the rigorous touring schedule also limits time with his family.

His confession underscores the heavy personal sacrifice often required for global stardom. For artists like Ruger, the need to constantly tour and deliver the "Ruger sauce" to international audiences means exchanging precious personal time for professional dominance.

This raw admission from one of Afrobeats' most dynamic voices pulls back the curtain on the loneliness of the spotlight, revealing that even extraordinary fame cannot shield an artist from the fundamental human need for connection and stability.
