Afrobeats singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has revealed that his daily struggle with ordering takeout is one of the surprising reasons he is considering marriage sooner than expected. During a recent livestream with streamer Shank, the singer opened up about his personal life, sharing insights into why he wants to settle down.
Takeout Fatigue Fuels Desire for a Partner
Ruger admitted that his busy lifestyle has left him without someone at home to prepare meals, forcing him to rely on takeout regularly. “I keep ordering takeouts because there is no one at home to cook for me. That’s one of the reasons I want to settle down,” he said during the livestream. The comment has given fans a glimpse into the singer’s personal thoughts as he considers marriage, highlighting a practical, everyday motivation behind his decision.
Financial Independence and Ideal Partner Traits
While food is a factor, Ruger emphasised that financial stability is not a priority when choosing a partner. “A woman’s financial status doesn’t matter to me. I am rich,” he stated. The singer added that he has previously dated women who were unemployed, including some who were not particularly ambitious. According to Ruger, the most important quality he seeks in a woman is a good sense of humour. “I want someone who is funny,” he said.
Ruger also disclosed that he has earned more than $2 million so far in 2026, suggesting that financial pressure is not the reason behind his desire to settle down. The singer’s revelation underscores his confidence in his financial independence and his focus on companionship rather than economic considerations.
Reactions from Fans and Social Media
The livestream clip sparked reactions from social media users. User @King_dayvo commented, “omo shank senior ruger with like 8 years and ruger dey tell am sey e no go better for sm.” Another user, @bababunmiagbeb1, wrote, “Notice how Shank is original and authentic in his conversation. He isn’t screaming like a lost dog.” The comments reflect mixed but engaged responses to Ruger’s candid admission.
Ruger Thanks Wizkid for Support
In related news, Ruger recently expressed gratitude to Wizkid and his fan base for their unwavering support. The singer, who inherited the nickname ‘Mini Idolo’, was interviewed by Naija FM and shared his experience associating with Wizkid. He noted that Wizkid FC were streaming both songs simultaneously because Wizkid instructed them to do so. This gesture highlights the camaraderie within the Afrobeats community.
