In a recent interview with Naija FM, Ruger shared his experience working with Wizkid, one of Nigeria’s biggest music stars. He credited Wizkid’s support as a key factor in his success.’

Ruger, known as ‘Mini Idolo’ by his fans, recalled a career milestone. He achieved his highest first-day streaming numbers the same day Wizkid released his album More Love, Less Ego.

Ruger credited much of this success to the dedicated efforts of Wizkid FC, the loyal fanbase behind the global superstar.

Ruger shared that Wizkid personally encouraged his fans to support his music.

As a result, this led to a simultaneous streaming effort of both Toma Toma and Wizkid’s albums, further amplifying the impact of their releases.

The support from Wizkid FC caused a surge in streams for Ruger’s song, which he described as humbling and extraordinary.

In the music industry, releasing two major projects on the same day is usually risky. It often results in divided attention and lower streams for both artists.

Ruger’s heartfelt thanks to Wizkid and his fans highlight not only the importance of collaboration and mutual respect but also the power of community within the Nigerian music scene.

In addition, this display of appreciation emphasizes the value of unity and cooperation in the music industry. Meanwhile, it also sheds light on the significance of mentorship and knowledge sharing among artists. Ultimately, Ruger’s gesture demonstrates the transformative impact that collective support and encouragement can have on individual careers and the music scene as a whole.
