Nigerian Afrobeats star, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has claimed that genuine friendship is scarce in the Nigerian music industry.
Naija News reports that Ruger, while featuring in a recent episode of The Stanley Agu Show, explained that relationships in the music industry are often business-oriented.
He claimed that the highest number of genuine friends an artist can have in the music industry is two, and wished he had known that earlier.
He said, “One thing I wished I had known earlier is that no one is your friend in the [music] industry. The most you can have is maybe two genuine friends that stand by you and want to see you grow and even when things are bad, they are with you and making sure that you are good. That’s all, man.
“Everything is business. Nobody cares. Just known that everything is business. They are moving around with you because you can offer at that time. The moment you might not be able to offer anything, a lot of people will switch. Remember, the most friends you can have in the industry might be two or one or none.”

20 Celebrity Atheists who changed their minds and started to believe in God in human hostory until todayHere’s a list of 20 notable figures (including celebrities, intellectuals, and public personalities) who were publicly known as atheists or strong non-believers and later changed their minds to believe in God (mostly through Christianity, some through theism). I focused on well-documented cases from history up to today: C.S. Lewis (1898–1963) — British author and Oxford professor. Avowed atheist who converted to Christianity in 1931 after discussions with J.R.R. Tolkien and others. Author of Mere Christianity and Narnia. Antony Flew (1923–2010) — One of the most prominent 20th-century atheist philosophers. Announced his conversion to deism (belief in a Creator God) in 2004 based on evidence of design in the universe. Lee Strobel (1952–) — American investigative journalist and former atheist. Set out to disprove Christianity but converted after researching the evidence for Jesus. Author of The Case for Christ. Francis Collins (1950–) — Renowned geneticist who led the Human Genome Project. Former atheist who became a Christian, seeing harmony between science and faith. Author of The Language of God. Alice Cooper (1948–) — Legendary rock musician known for shock rock. Lived a wild, atheistic lifestyle before hitting rock bottom and converting to Christianity in the late 1980s. Kirk Cameron (1970–) — Actor famous for Growing Pains. Was an atheist as a teen but converted to Christianity at 17 and later became an evangelist. Peter Hitchens (1951–) — British journalist and author, brother of famous atheist Christopher Hitchens. Former Marxist atheist who converted to Christianity. Ayaan Hirsi Ali (1969–) — Prominent critic of Islam and former New Atheist. Publicly announced her conversion to Christianity in 2023. Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990) — British journalist and media personality. Long-time agnostic/atheist who converted to Christianity later in life. Mortimer J. Adler (1902–2001) — American philosopher and educator. Long agnostic, converted to Christianity (Catholicism) late in life. Andrew Klavan (1954–) — American novelist and podcaster. Raised Jewish, became an atheist, later converted to Christianity. Jennifer Fulwiler — Blogger and author (Something Other than God). Former strong atheist who converted to Catholicism. Alister McGrath (1953–) — Theologian and scientist. Former atheist who became a leading Christian apologist. William J. Murray (1946–) — Son of famous atheist activist Madalyn Murray O’Hair. Converted to Christianity and became a pastor. David Wood — Christian apologist. Raised atheist, converted after personal transformation. Ian Hutchinson — MIT plasma physicist and professor. Former atheist who converted to Christianity. Larry Sanger — Co-founder of Wikipedia. Former atheist who has spoken about his turn toward faith. Rosaria Butterfield — Former atheist lesbian professor and activist who converted to Christianity. Frank Morison (Albert Henry Ross) — Early 20th-century skeptic who set out to disprove the resurrection and became a Christian (author of Who Moved the Stone?). Jonathan (or similar modern converts like some musicians/actors) — Examples include some rock/metal figures like members who turned to faith, but a strong 20th is John C. Wright, science fiction author who was a strong atheist before a dramatic conversion to Christianity. Quick Notes: Many of these conversions were intellectual (evidence, philosophy, science) or experiential (crisis, relationships). Antony Flew is the most famous for a high-profile philosophical shift (though to deism, not Christianity). Conversions to Christianity dominate because most public stories are from a Western context.
