Ruger, the talented Nigerian artist currently on his Canada tour, has recently responded to the criticisms that arose following a viral video of one of his performances. The video captured Ruger dancing in an erotic manner with several ladies on stage, creating a buzz among fans.
During the performance, Ruger invited five ladies to join him on stage and energetically engaged with each of them, particularly focusing on their backside. This infusion of erotic energy heightened the excitement among the fans, but some viewers noticed that one of the women seemed uncomfortable with his interactions.
The video sparked a wave of reactions online, with many expressing their disapproval of Ruger’s perceived unnecessary display of eroticism during his stage performances. Some also offered advice, urging him to be mindful of how he dances and touches women, especially in different countries, as such actions could potentially lead to accusations of sexual assault and harassment.

In response to the criticisms, Ruger took to his Instagram story to address the comments, dismissing them as attempts to undermine the enjoyment he shares with his female fans. He referred to the Nigerian critics as “trolls” and proceeded to shame them for their supposed inability to afford fuel, using the recent removal of fuel subsidy and the subsequent price hike as a point of contention.
“It’s funny how these Naija Twitter trolls struggling to buy fuel try to spoil our fun. The fun never stops,” Ruger wrote in an Instagram post.
