The singer disclosed a recent livestream with popular streamer Shank, where he spoke about his dating preferences, relationships and plans for marriage.
According to Ruger, a woman’s income level or employment status is not a determining factor for him because he is already financially comfortable.
“A woman’s financial status doesn’t matter to me,” the singer said.
“I am rich. I have dated girls who didn’t make money before. They just sleep and wake up.”
The statement quickly generated reactions across social media, with many users debating whether financial independence should matter in modern relationships.
While some fans agreed that a wealthy man may not prioritise a partner’s income, others argued that ambition and work ethic are just as important as financial contribution.
When asked about the qualities he values most in a woman, Ruger said his ideal partner is someone with a good sense of humour.
“My ideal woman is someone who is funny,” he said.
The singer also revealed that he is considering marriage and hopes to settle down in the near future.
Explaining one of the reasons behind that decision, Ruger joked that he is tired of constantly ordering takeout meals because he has no partner at home to cook for him.
“I keep ordering takeouts because there is no one at home to cook for me,” he said.
“That’s one of the reasons I want to settle down.”
Beyond relationships, Ruger also opened up about his financial success, disclosing that he has earned over $2 million this year.
The singer did not provide a detailed breakdown of the income, but the revelation highlights the growing global success of his music career, which includes streaming revenue, international performances, endorsements and other business ventures.
Ruger has become one of the leading voices in the new generation of Afrobeats artists, gaining international recognition through hit songs such as “Bounce,” “Dior,” “Asiwaju” and “Girlfriend.”
Since breaking into the mainstream, he has built a strong fan base across Africa, Europe and North America, with his music consistently performing well on streaming platforms.
His latest comments have added to the ongoing conversation among Nigerian celebrities about money, relationships and marriage.
In recent weeks, several entertainers have publicly shared their opinions on financial expectations in relationships, with views ranging from men paying all the bills to women prioritising financial independence before marriage.
For Ruger, however, the focus appears to be less on a partner’s earning capacity and more on compatibility, companionship and creating a home environment he can enjoy.
The singer’s remarks have continued to trend online, with fans expressing mixed reactions to his views on dating unemployed women and his desire to settle down.
While some praised his honesty, others questioned whether his comments about cooking reflected traditional expectations in relationships.
As discussions continue, Ruger’s candid interview has once again shown how celebrity opinions on love, money and marriage can quickly become major talking points across social media.
