Veteran rapper Michael Ugochukwu Steven, widely known as Ruggedman, has stated that he was the first young Nigerian artiste to own a car.
In a recent interview with Echo Room, Ruggedman stated that he purchased his BMW for N900,000 in 2004, before renowned Afrobeats stars like P-Square and D’banj.
“I bought my BMW for N900,000 in 2004. I was the first young Nigerian artiste to own a car before them P-Square and D’banj,” he said.
“The only artistes that had cars then were signed to Kennis Music. They didn’t own the cars. They were only given to them for official use. Tuface shared the same car with his labelmates then.”
Ruggedman also claimed that he was “the first young artiste to print posters and calendars” during that period.
