Nigerian singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has revealed that he owns two firearms.
The Blown Boy boss disclosed this while discussing the inspiration behind his stage name in a recent interview with content creator, Timi Agbaje.
The interviewer asked, βWhat is the inspiration behind the name Ruger?β
Ruger replied, βItβs a gun, mehn.βThe interviewer asked, βItβs a gun? So you have a gun?β
Ruger replied, βYeah, I do. I have two.β
The singer did not disclose whether the guns he owns are licensed or not.

He added, βwe may review it later, but we are not issuing firearms licenses nationwide now.β
