Ruger opens up on jealousy and cliques in the music industry

Nigerian recording/performing artist Michael Adebayo popularly known by his stage name, Ruger is opening up on what he feels is the major catalyst to failing relationships in the music industry.

According to the 24-year-old award-winning artist, jealousy breaks up so many friendships and generally affects the industry due to jealous individuals short-sighted nature that makes them afraid of seeing other acts doing better than them.

Ru also touched on the presumption that there are cliques in the music industry as well as why it is super important for brotherhood to exist in the entertainment industry.

“I feel like it all depends on the kind of people they are. For example, if I’m not the kind of person that is generally envious, then I can’t be envious of my fellow artistes,” started off the ‘Red Flags’ hitmaker while speaking during a recent episode of the Bahd And Boujee Podcast.

He went on to explain to the co-hosts Tolanibaj and Moet Abebe that the only way an artist would be jealous of seeing other people dominating airwaves, getting play and recognition is if deep down said person has always been green with envy.

The fast-rising Nigerian superstar emphasised that if it was not in one’s nature to be jealous of others then the same will stick when it comes to their craft and the industry.

Speaking from his point of view, the ‘Girlfriend’ crooner noted that if someone came up or he saw an artist with potential then he would do his best to hold his/her hand, if help is asked from him because that is just who he is as a person.
