Nigerian Afrobeat star Michael Adebayo Olayinka, also known as Ruger has opened up on the lack of genuine friendships in the music industry.
While speaking on the Stanley Agu show on Friday, Ruger said that most relationships in the music industry are business oriented.
He stated that people stick around only when they can benefit from the relationship
“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,” he said.
