Singing sensation Michael Adebayo Olayinka, better known as Ruger, discusses his departure from D'Prince's Jonzing World, claiming he was being taken advantage of and that his money was being used to support up-and-coming artists.

He made the charge on Twitter on Thursday while also expressing gratitude to his previous record company for making him well-known.

Ruger said that the money they were receiving from him was going toward paying other musicians connected to the group and seeking out new talents.

The singer said that the music deal was intended to be renegotiated, but he was unable to do so since the record label did not support him in developing his brand to the fullest degree that he felt it should.

In a series of tweets, he accused the label management of being opaque and keeping him out of key decisions that affect his personal brand and music career.

He said:

“As much as I’m very appreciative of the fact that Jonzing world introduced me to the world, I just couldn’t continue with them because they got too comfortable with the money they were making from me and couldn’t push me further as I wanted to be pushed.

Was supposed to renegotiate the contract but I couldn’t imagine 5 years more without action. Dey use my money Dey fund new artiste, leaving me in the dark, not being transparent. I just laugh. How e be now? Many things to to talk but dem fit go wait for me for ikoyi link bridge stab me wotowoto.

I complained, I got angry, some people tell me say no be so dem Dey do things. I still go back HQ go collect fake hugs and handshakes. Nothing still change. I wan mad 😂😂

Anyways, I’m proud of myself. Performing at very big festivals this year, touring Europe again, touring Canada again, IDC I’m gonna be cocky 😂😂 coz this is shit they couldn’t do for me. BS!!!”
