Afrobeats star Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has claimed that there is hardly genuine friendship in the Nigerian music industry.
He claimed that the highest number of genuine friends an artist can have in the music industry is two.
Featuring in a recent episode of The Stanley Agu Show, Ruger explained that relationships in the music industry are often business-oriented.
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.”;
