Popular singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, often known as Ruger, has asserted that Nigeria today has less than five excellent musicians.
He claimed that the majority of Nigerian singers only perform for “cruise.”
Ruger stated in a recent interview with Cool FM in Lagos, which was published on Instagram on Wednesday, that those that are brilliant and make good music are not up to five.
However, he did not mention the only talented Nigerian artists in his opinion, nor did he specify where he ranks on the list.
