Afrobeats singer Ruger has announced his return to music after a legal dispute with a former partner reportedly kept him away from releasing new projects for some time.
The development was confirmed on Wednesday by his record label, Blown Boy Entertainment, which revealed that the singer had been dealing with personal challenges linked to a lawsuit filed by an ex-partner.
Legal dispute resolved
According to the label, the case affected the singer’s activities and contributed to his prolonged absence from the music scene.
In a statement addressing fans, the management explained the circumstances behind the break.
“We know it’s been a while since Ruger dropped new music. For some time, Ruger was caught up in a series of personal challenges after someone he dated decided to sue him for alleged ‘emotional distress’ and ‘damages”.
The label noted that the legal matter has now been resolved, allowing the singer to focus fully on his career and upcoming projects.
“That chapter is now behind him. A new chapter begins. A new energy emerges.”
Summer tour plans unveiled
Blown Boy Entertainment also disclosed that Ruger has been working on new material and preparing for a series of international performances.
“Ruger is back to doing what he loves most – making music. And best believe, he has been cooking”.
The label thanked supporters who remained loyal during the period of silence and announced that the singer will perform in Belgium, Málaga, Bali, Malawi and the United States this summer.
“We would like to sincerely thank everyone who remained patient and continued to support Ruger throughout the silence. Your loyalty and belief have meant everything.”
The announcement has sparked discussion among fans online, many expressing excitement about Ruger’s return and anticipation for new music following months of uncertainty surrounding his career.
