Ruger Responds to TikTok User’s Death Wish, Defends His Lyrics

Nigerian singer Ruger has responded to a TikTok user who said his death would improve her mental health. The singer rejected the remark and criticised the creator’s appearance in a post on X. He also said critics had misread the lyrics of his song, arguing that they judged it after hearing only one explicit word. Ruger said people were free to criticise him, but expressed disappointment that many Nigerians joined the backlash without checking the full lyrics.

Rejecting a death wish is fair, but criticising the creator's appearance also shifts the conversation away from the lyrics.

It would help if listeners discussed the actual lyrics before judging them, while artists keep replies focused on the harmful comment.
