Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter Michael Adebayo Olayinka, who is better known by his stage name Ruger, recently shared a charming and relatable story from his school days that has made fans smile and remember their own teenage experiences. During a relaxed and honest conversation with VJADAMSTV, the talented artist opened up about a sweet memory from his early years in secondary school that shows a more personal and human side of the music star.
When the interviewer asked Ruger whether he had ever found himself attracted to one of his school teachers, the singer answered honestly and directly with a simple “Yes.” This admission immediately caught the attention of viewers, as many people can relate to having similar feelings during their school years. Ruger then went on to provide more details about this innocent childhood crush that happened when he was much younger.
The singer explained that this experience took place during his JSS1 years, which is the first year of Junior Secondary School in Nigeria’s education system. At that age, students are typically around 10 to 12 years old, making Ruger’s confession even more endearing and innocent. He described how his feelings developed naturally because of the way his teacher treated him.
“I was really young, in my JSS1. She was really nice to me that I began to love her,” Ruger revealed during the interview. This simple explanation shows how kindness and attention from an adult figure can easily be misinterpreted as romantic feelings by a young student who is just beginning to understand emotions and relationships.
The interview also covered other aspects of Ruger’s life and career, including how achieving fame and success has changed him as a person. The singer reflected thoughtfully on the ways that his mindset and approach to his professional life have evolved since he became well-known in the music industry.
Speaking about these changes, Ruger explained that fame has made him more focused and determined in pursuing his goals. He described how he has become more passionate about his work and more willing to fight for what he believes in and wants to achieve in his career.
“I’m more passionate, am aggressive right now. I’m aggressive when it comes to my work. I don’t mind fighting for what I want,” he stated confidently during the conversation.
