The Nigerian musician Michael Adebayo Olayinka, better known by his stage name Ruger, has given an explanation for why he is booked for more shows than some of his fellow musicians.
He claims that while he is on stage, he not only performs his songs but also displays his personality.
He clarified that having popular songs alone is not enough to make a singer successful.
He stressed that even having millions of popular songs, a musician may lack stage presence.
On his X handle, Ruger wrote:
“Let me explain to you why I get booked so much. I don’t come on stage to sing (of which I know l’m so good at) I bring my whole fucking personality on stage it’s not a joke
“It’s not by having hit songs you can have a million hit songs and still be clueless on stage at a 200-capacity venue.”
