Popular Afrobeats singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, better known as Ruger, has revealed to everyone that cares to know that he gave his first music earning, which was N500,000 to a church.
Although the singer did not mention the name of the church he purportedly donated the money to. But, according to the singer, the next payment he received after he made the donation was N1 million.
The singer equally confessed that money somehow changed him. Ruger made the shocking revelations in an interview recently.
He said; “My first earnings from music was N500,000 when I first came out. I can remember I gave everything to the church. I didn’t used it. The next payment was N1 million. I was feeling like I had arrive. I went on a shopping spree. More millions came in a space of one year.”
“Money changed me in some ways. Money changes everybody. No one can say money didn’t change them. When you make more money a lot of things change; the way you address things, the way you even approach things is different. Some people don’t stress when they have a lot of money.”
“I want to get to a point where I no longer stress myself over anything. Look at Jay-Z for instance, he doesn’t respond when people insult him knowing he is very successful. I’m looking forward to that level of success.”
