The duo of Nigerian singers, Ruger and Joeboy were seemingly involved in a supremacy battle on social media ahead of the release of their albums on March 28.
On Thursday, March 27, the duo made cryptic posts on X, seemingly targeting each other.
The drama started when Ruger boasted that some of his colleagues would go back to the studio when they heard his sophomore album, ‘Blown Boy Ru,’ while others, unfortunately, wouldn’t have that opportunity as they were releasing their albums on the same day as he.
He wrote, “Some people will have to go back to the studio after they hear this album, some people won’t even have the chance to coz they dropping the same day as me sad! #blownboyru.”
It wasn’t long before fans started speculating that he was shading Joeboy whose album ‘Viva Lavida’ was also scheduled for release on March 28.
Hours later, Joeboy also shared a cryptic post, claiming that some of his colleagues were competing with him.
He stated that they chose to fly beside him despite the vastness of the sky.
Joeboy wrote, “The sky is big enough for everyone to fly but some people are choosing to fly right beside me lol. I get it, I Inspire you.”
As expected, fans speculated that his post was a reply to Ruger.
This is not the first time Nigerian superstars will be clashing over release date.
On 13 May 2022, fans of Burna Boy and Davido clashed on social media after the singers released their hit singles ‘Last Last’ and ‘Stand Strong’ on the same day.
Davido boasted after ‘Stand Strong’ beat ‘Last Last’ to top the Apple Music chart in the country. Burna Boy also celebrated after ‘Last Last’ overtook ‘Stand Strong’ on the chart.
