Afrobeats singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, aka Ruger, has expressed concern about untalented artists gaining popularity in the Nigerian music industry due to extensive promotion.

On his X handle, Ruger wrote: “The music scene has been hurting me coz no matter how shit an artist is, once there’s money for hype, Otilo.”
