Afrobeats sensation Ruger has finally addressed swirling rumours suggesting he is on bad terms with Davido, firmly debunking the claims and making it clear that there is no tension between them.
The clarification came on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, after the singer took to X (formerly Twitter) to counter a narrative pushed by an online fan account. The account, @DavidoPolice, implied that Ruger’s success hinged on publicly apologizing to Davido, writing:
“When you’re ready apologize and beg Davido publicly, your song will enter No. 1.”
Ruger wasted no time in shutting down the speculation. Responding directly, he questioned the basis of the claim:
“And did Davido tell you I did anything wrong to him?”
He went on to dismiss any talk of a feud, stressing his admiration for Davido and insisting that the relationship between them has always been respectful. In Ruger’s words:
“I love Davido and I know he loves me too. People on his team still repost my stuff. I will never believe this agenda that he doesn’t f**k with me unless he says it to my face or publicly. But if him talk am, everywhere go first blur Sha.”
His comments were a direct attempt to distance himself from ongoing fan-driven rivalries—particularly those involving the so-called “Big Three”: Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy. Ruger, who has sometimes been associated with Wizkid FC by online communities, made it clear that these imagined conflicts exist only in the digital space, not in real life interactions.
While Davido has yet to issue any public reaction, Ruger’s statement highlights a growing frustration among artists about the role fan armies play in shaping narratives within the Afrobeats industry. Increasingly, musicians are stepping forward to push back against manufactured beefs that dominate social media conversations.
Ruger’s message is simple: respect exists behind the scenes, regardless of the noise online.
