BlownBoy Entertainment, the record label owned by Nigerian singer Ruger, has shed light on the reason behind the artiste’s recent break from releasing new music.
In a statement addressed to fans, the label revealed that Ruger had been dealing with personal challenges stemming from a legal dispute involving a former romantic partner.
According to the statement, the singer stepped away from the spotlight for a period after an ex-partner allegedly filed a lawsuit against him, claiming emotional distress and seeking damages.
The label, however, noted that the matter has now been resolved, allowing the singer to return to his music career fully.
“Dear RU Nation,
We know it’s been a while since Ruger dropped new music.
For some time, Ruger was caught up in a series of personal challenges after someone he dated decided to sue him for alleged ’emotional distress’ and ‘damages’.
That chapter is now behind him. A new chapter begins. A new energy emerges.
Ruger is back to doing what he loves most, making music. And best believe, he’s been cooking.
NEW MUSIC DROPS THIS AUGUST,” the statement read.
The announcement comes after months of speculation by fans who questioned the singer’s relative silence and reduced output.
While the label did not disclose the identity of the individual involved in the legal dispute or provide details about the case, it emphasized that the situation is now firmly in the past.
BlownBoy Entertainment also used the opportunity to thank fans for their patience and unwavering support during the singer’s absence.
“We would like to sincerely thank everyone who remained patient and continued to support Ruger throughout the silence. Your loyalty and belief have meant everything,” the label added.
In addition to confirming new music, the statement announced a series of international performances scheduled for the singer this summer.
Fans can expect to see Ruger perform in several locations, including Belgium, Málaga, Bali, Malawi, and the United States.
“August belongs to us.
Stay tuned, enjoy your summer, and get ready for what’s next,” the statement concluded.
Ruger, known for hit songs such as *Bounce*, *Asiwaju*, *Girlfriend*, and *Toma Toma*, has established himself as one of Nigeria’s most successful young Afrobeats stars.
Since launching his career under Jonzing World before eventually creating his own label, the singer has built a strong global fan base through his distinctive sound and energetic performances.
The announcement of his return is likely to excite supporters who have been eagerly awaiting new music from the artiste.
With the legal dispute reportedly resolved and fresh projects on the horizon, Ruger appears set to begin a new chapter in his career.
For fans of the singer, the message from BlownBoy Entertainment was clear: the silence is over, and Ruger is preparing for a major comeback.
