Blown Boy Entertainment, the record label of singer Ruger, has released a statement explaining the reason behind the singer’s recent lack of new music.

Nigerian singer Ruger has been absent from releasing new music due to personal and legal issues stemming from a past relationship, as stated by his record label, BlownBoy Entertainment.

The label revealed that the singer is facing repercussions from a lawsuit reportedly filed by a former partner, who is seeking compensation for alleged emotional trauma. BlownBoy Entertainment has stated that the ongoing dispute with Ruger has impacted the artist’s activities over the past few months.

“The label said in a statement that personal challenges arose after someone he dated decided to sue him for alleged emotional distress and damages.” The label hinted that the issue has been a factor in the delay of the singer’s new releases, although no further information was given.

Ruger, who launched BlownBoy Entertainment following his departure from Jonzing World, is known for hit songs such as Asiwaju, Bounce, and Girlfriend. The singer and his management have yet to publicly comment further on the alleged lawsuit or provide a timeline for new music.
