    ‘I’m Safe’:Ruger Allays Fears over his Safety as War Breaks out between Isreal and Palestine Shortly After his Tel Aviv Performance 

    Ruger has assured concerned fans that he is safe after managing to get out of Israel just before renewed hostilities began with Palestine.

    Worried fans had taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express concern over the 24-year-old’s safety after clips of his performance went viral shortly after war broke out between Israel and Palestine.

    But the “Asiwaju” singer confirmed that he and his team had managed to leave Tel Aviv safely.

    He, however, called for an end to the violence declared his support for Israel.

    “Israel is at war now and it’s very sad. It started as soon as me and my team took off from Tel Aviv to head back home,” he tweeted.

    “So guys !!! I really appreciate your concern 🙏🏾 I’m safe. But please we need peace in the world right now!!! We don’t want innocent people dying 🙏🏾 we just want to LIVE AND LOVE ❤️ #prayforisrael 🇮🇱”

    Ruger sparked criticism on social media for implying that Nigerians do not support his music as much as foreign fans and thanked the Israelis for their love.

    “ I’m so happy to be back on the road doing what i love, seeing the people that love me and giving them back my love and dedication. I pray God continues to give me the strength and success to keep making dem nay sayers mad 😂. THANK YOU ISREAL 🇮🇱🙏🏾”

    BNXN’s Debut Album, Sincerely Benson is a Love Letter to his Fans

    BNXN has released his hugely anticipated debut album, Sincerely Benson which includes the singles Gwagwalada” “Pray” and “Sweet Tea (Aduke).

    2 Baba, Kizz Daniel, Seyi Vibez and PopCaan all feature on the project, which shot to the top of the albums chart on Apple Music Nigeria. While five songs from the album presently occupy the top posts on the top songs chart.

    The 26-year-old had earlier made it clear that the collaborations on the album were deliberate and essential to its theme and vision.

    “There are a couple of collaborations on the album, I wanted them to be really specific to the message I was passing across. Like I have Headie One on the project, that is Headie One’s best verse internationally. When it drops you can take it to the bank – they will give you 100k,” he told the Ghanaian outlet , My Joy Online.

    “Everybody that’s on this project came in with their A game, not even their A game, their A star game, I’m super excited about it.”

    As expected, there’ve been comparisons between BNXN’s album and that of his rival Ruger which dropped last month.

    Never one to miss an opportunity to take a swipe at his hottest rival, BNXN boasted about his collaboration with one of the OGs in the world of Afrobeats.

    “ And some might never get to song with 2Baba,” he tweeted.

    Me I’ve sha turned on Ruger’s notifications because I know he’ll surely respond.
