Afrobeat Singer, Ruger reveals why he resolved his feud with a colleague, BNXN, while defining 'comparison' as a destructive force.
Ruger spoke with Beats FM 99.9 about the motivation for his latest singles 'Luv Again' and 'Make Way' and how he settled his dispute with BNXN.
It should be noted that the two had a very publicized disagreement that lasted nearly three years before it was resolved.
According to Ruger, the problem with BNXN was exacerbated by fan comparisons, which he says are not necessarily negative but did lead to their disagreement.
He said; “Comparison is a killer of joy, but it’s necessary for the game. This is what is entertaining these people. The arguments and all that.”
“We looked beyond that (the comparisons) and asked ‘How can we push good music together?’ Because there’s a lot of distractions now in the music space.
“Some people are releasing things that are not good, but they are using money to push it and it’s flying. If you look at the ‘RnB’ project, it’s very good music,” Ruger said on squashing his beef with BNXN and collaborating on the joint EP ‘RnB'”
