Nigerian singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has recounted how he was traumatised by his first “heartbreak” at a tender age. The ‘Toma Toma’ crooner shared that he experienced his first heartbreak at the age of 6 after he saw an older lady, who had teased him about being his girlfriend sleeping with a man.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Bro Bants show, Ruger said he was traumatised by the experience and became toxic growing up.
He said, “The last time that I experienced heartbreak I was very very young. There was this aunty that I liked, she used to call me ‘my boyfriend.’ So, I assumed that she was my woman. I was just 6 years old.
“I got heartbroken because one day, I saw some guy smashing her through her window. The guy was tearing her up, bro. I cried. I was traumatised. I started singing ‘Imagine That’ by Styl-Plus. That was what started my toxicity. That experience broke my heart.”
