Nigerian musician Ruger has publicly responded to a viral video in which a female TikTok user wished for his death over allegations surrounding his song lyrics.
The controversy began when the content creator posted a critique online, labeling the artist's discography as "misogynistic and homophobic." In the video, the user remarked in Pidgin English that Ruger needed to die for the sake of her mental health, sparking widespread reaction across social media platforms.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) page, the singer reshared the clip while firmly rejecting the harmful statement.
Ruger sarcastically questioned whether he received a pass to respond given the extreme nature of the wish, before directing critical comments back at the creator's lifestyle choices and appearance rather than engaging further on the music criticism itself.
The public exchange has drawn mixed reactions online, reigniting ongoing discussions regarding public commentary, artist-fan interactions, and social media etiquette within the Nigerian entertainment ecosystem.
While some users criticized the extreme language used in the initial TikTok video, others questioned the singer's direct retaliation toward the critic.
"I think I get a pass for her wishing me dead. So apologies to the feminists and body positivity activists. But this girl is worried about the wrong thing." — Ruger
