Ruger Addresses Alleged Rift With Davido, Denies Apology Demands, Affirms Mutual Respect And Professional Relationship Remains Intact

 

Nigerian music sensation Ruger has finally addressed circulating rumors about a supposed rift with fellow superstar Davido, putting an end to speculations about tension in the industry. The discussions stemmed from Ruger’s open admiration for Wizkid and his fanbase, which some of Davido’s fans interpreted as taking sides in the long-standing rivalry between the two Afrobeat giants.

The controversy gained traction on social media platforms, particularly on X, where a fan boldly stated that Ruger’s musical trajectory would remain stalled until he publicly apologized to Davido. The fan’s comment suggested that a public apology could pave the way for Ruger to achieve chart-topping success. Ruger, however, did not take the statement lightly and responded directly, questioning whether Davido had ever indicated that he had done anything wrong.

Ruger’s response highlighted his position of neutrality and his refusal to be influenced by third-party assumptions. He stressed that he holds no personal issue with Davido, and believes the senior artist maintains a similar outlook toward him. “I love Davido and I know he loves me too. People on his team still repost my sh*t,” Ruger wrote, emphasizing the mutual professional respect that exists between them.

The singer also clarified that he would never accept narratives suggesting a feud unless it comes directly from Davido, either privately or publicly. This stance underscores Ruger’s commitment to transparency and his rejection of gossip-driven narratives. He explained that he sees no reason to speculate on negativity, insisting that he prioritizes facts over rumors. “I will never believe this agenda that he doesn’t f*ck with me except he says it to my face or publicly. But if him talk am, everywhere go first blur Sha,” he added, reinforcing his trust in direct communication rather than social media assumptions.

Industry observers have pointed out that Ruger’s calm handling of the situation reflects a growing trend among young artists to avoid unnecessary drama. By openly addressing the rumors and reaffirming his respect for Davido, Ruger not only defuses tension but also signals a professional approach to handling fan speculation. His statement serves as a reminder that social media narratives often distort reality, and that personal relationships between artists cannot be accurately judged by online commentary alone.

Fans and followers of both artists are now witnessing a clear stance from Ruger, one that rejects forced rivalries and emphasizes collaboration and mutual admiration within the music scene. While the rivalry between Davido and Wizkid has long been a point of discussion, Ruger’s comments make it evident that his focus remains on his music, relationships, and career growth, rather than participating in conflicts that are not his own.

By addressing the rumors publicly, Ruger has effectively reminded fans and the media alike that respect and professionalism remain key values in the Nigerian music industry, proving that not every comment on social media should dictate real-world perceptions of artist relationships.
