Ruger Acknowledges Wizkid’s FC for Boosting His Chart Success

Nigerian singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, known as Ruger, recently admired Wizkid’s loyal fanbase, FC, on social media. In a playful post on X (formerly Twitter), Ruger praised the power of Wizkid’s fans and their role in his success. He credited Wizkid’s impressive chart performance to the unwavering support from FC, which has played a key role in his rise.

In a playful tone, Ruger made a unique and cheeky request, asking Wizkid to include him in his ‘music will.’ He joked that if Wizkid ever decided to retire from music, and his son Zion did not wish to follow in his father’s musical footsteps, Ruger would like to inherit Wizkid’s loyal fanbase. The tweet read: ‘@wizkidayo if you ever decide not to do music again, and Zion no wan do music Sef, pls write my name RUGER as the person to inherit your fanbase in your music will.’

Shortly after, Ruger shared another tweet, noting the tangible impact of Wizkid’s fans on his career.

Ruger shared that FC’s support boosted his collaboration with Tiwa Savage, ‘Killing Me,’ which reached number 13 on the Apple Music charts. He expressed his thanks in a tweet: ‘Omo see as FC Dey do 1 kese, 1 toma toma we Dey number 13 now for Apple Music.’

Ruger’s lighthearted request underscores the strength and loyalty of Wizkid’s fanbase. Their influence extends beyond Wizkid’s success, helping to elevate new Nigerian artists.

His comment is a testament to the profound impact that dedicated fan communities can have on the music industry. Through this gesture, Ruger shows both respect for Wizkid’s legacy and a desire to tap into FC’s influential power, which continues to dominate the Nigerian music scene.
