Nigerian singer Ruger has made a playful yet intriguing appeal to Afrobeats star Wizkid regarding the future of his formidable fanbase, Wizkid FC. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Saturday, November 16, 2024, Ruger humorously requested that Wizkid include him in his “music will” if he ever decides to retire from the industry.
In his post, Ruger wrote:
“@wizkidayo if you ever decide to not do music again, and Zion no wan do music Slsef, pls write my name Ruger as the person to inherit your fanbase in your music will.”
Wizkid, known for his global impact and one of the strongest fan followings in African music, has yet to respond to Ruger’s lighthearted request.
Ruger’s remark highlights the massive influence Wizkid commands, with Wizkid FC consistently supporting their idol and playing a significant role in his legendary career. While Ruger’s appeal was likely in jest, it underscores the cultural significance and loyalty of established fan communities in Afrobeats.
This interaction has amused fans and sparked conversations about the legacies of current stars and how they might influence the next generation of African music talents.
