Ruger fires back at TikTok user who wished him dead

Ruger has responded sharply to a TikTok user who said she wanted the Nigerian singer dead, after criticising his music as “misogynistic and homophobic”.

The singer reacted after a video by the woman went viral on TikTok. In the clip, she criticised Ruger’s music and claimed that his death would improve her mental health.

The woman made the comment in Pidgin English while discussing the singer’s music.

Ruger later shared the video on his X account and questioned whether he should receive an apology from the people who had supported the criticism.

“I think I get a pass for her wishing me dead,” he wrote.

However, the singer did not stop there. He also attacked the woman over her appearance and eating habits.

Ruger said she should be more concerned about her weight and claimed that she was close to developing a “triple chin”.

The comments have drawn attention online, with users debating whether the singer went too far in responding to the death wish.

The exchange has also reignited discussions about how musicians and public figures should respond to harsh criticism on social media.

For Ruger, the issue goes beyond criticism of his songs. He appeared particularly concerned that a critic had openly expressed a wish for him to die.

At the same time, his response has attracted criticism because of the personal remarks he made about the woman’s body.

Social media has increasingly become a direct channel between Nigerian entertainers and their audiences. As a result, confrontations that once remained private can quickly reach millions of people.

Meanwhile, the incident continues to generate reactions among fans and social media users.

Ruger has not indicated that he plans to withdraw his comments. The TikTok video and his response remain part of a wider debate about online abuse, celebrity criticism and the limits of social media arguments.
