“Problem Boys”: Ruger and Buju BNXN Come off Their Bad Terms, Tease Fans With a Collaboration

  • Talented Nigerian singers Ruger and Buju BNXN took netizens by surprise as they announced the end of their fight
  • Legit.ng previously reported several accounts where the two hitmakers fought over the supremacy of their skills
  • Surprisingly, days after the Asiwaju singer founded his independent music label, a forthcoming collaboration with his rival colleague buzzed the internet

Nigerian singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, best known as Ruger, and his colleague Daniel Etiese Benson, popularly known by the stage name Buju BNXN, have apparently reconciled after their long-term rift.

The two artists, who have been in a supremacy battle, recently shared a studio picture indicating a forthcoming project set to be released by them.

Legit.ng previously reported that Ruger had thrown shade at Buju, asking him to show five of his songs that weren't features that had hit number one on the Nigerian music charts, as his latest single, Asiwaju, just did.

In a swift response to Ruger's comment, Buju noted that Ruger was a local champion whose huge streaming numbers were fake and manipulated.

In the new update, the two appeared to have resolved their differences shortly after the one-eye-patched singer exited his music label, Jonzing World.

Hinting at the title of the incoming project, they wrote:

"MAYBE ROMEO MUST DIE."

Buju BNXN reveals why Timaya called him

Meanwhile, Legit.ng recalls reporting that fast-rising singer Buju BNXN finally talked about his recent social media back and forth between himself and his contemporaries Omah Lay and Ruger.

Buju revealed that the first time Omah Lay dissed him on social media, he saw the tweet and didn't feel the need to respond until Timaya called him and told him he had to.

He noted that Timaya told him that it was the highest form of disrespect any of his colleagues could have accorded him and that if he didn't nip it in the bud soon, more would follow.
