Mohbad, a former signee of the Marlian Record label owned by Naira Marley died on Tuesday September 12, 2023, in a controversial manner.

Naira Marley and his associate, Sam Larry were accused of having a hand in Mohbad’s sudden death after a series of documents and videos of the duo subjecting Mohbad to a relentless bullying for leaving the Record label surfaced on social media.

However, speaking in his latest interview with UK-based media personality, Adesope Olajide on ‘Afrobeats Podcast’, Ruger blamed fans for complicating issues for Mohbad before his death.

He accused the late singer’s fans of not supporting him when he parted ways with the record label.

“I don’t know whether the label was Mohbad’s problem or not. I just want you all to know that the label was not only his problem, but the fans were his problem too.

Nigeria Doesn’t Have World’s Best Women, Our Girls Lie – Ruger

Popular singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, aka Ruger has thrown a shade at Nigerian women.
He claimed that Nigerian women lie a lot and they are far from the best in the world.
According to him, any man who is well-travelled can attest to the fact.
He said this in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos.
 
“I can say for sure, we [Nigerians] don’t have the best women in the world. Yes, that’s a fact. No man that has been around [the world] would just say that [Nigeria has the best women].
 
“We have good women but we don’t have the best. You think there are white women that don’t have ‘booties’? They lied to us actually that white girls don’t have booty. Hmm, you need to see. I have seen first hand,” he said.
The ‘Asiwaju’ crooner also said he would never perform with female fans on stage in Nigeria as he does abroad because “Nigerian girls are liars.”
He said, “Personally, I don’t think I would get any girl on stage in Nigeria. Because most people that were criticising me for dancing with female fans on stage at that time were Nigerians. I don’t want no problems man. I will just do my time and leave.
 
“Actually, I don’t want problems with Nigerians. My people are toxic. And most of the girls in Nigeria they are in relationships so I don’t want someone to come for me. Nigerian girls are liars actually.
