Nigerian Artiste, Ruger sexually assaulted on stage
A video has emerged of the sexual assault of a Nigerian Afrobeats singer while on stage. The 22-year-old artist Ruger, whose real name is Michael Adebayo, is seen performing his number-one hit song, Dior, when a fan reaches out from the crowd and grabs his private parts.
Visibly shocked, he stops his performance for a few seconds and then proceeds to walk off stage.
Ruger has not yet commented on the incident, which was allegedly committed by a female fan on Sunday.
The incident has sparked anger and shock online.
“Watched the sexual assault video of Ruger and I feel traumatized too. It’s so scary, the man was just performing his craft and someone took away his joy and peace. Imagine other men that go through worse daily but can’t say because the world would mock them,” one person wrote on Twitter.
The rising star is known for his signature eye-patch, some of Ruger’s top songs include Bounce and Dior, which was a number one song on Apple Music in Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya and Gambia at the start of the year.
