The story behind Ruger's song "Dear Ex" from his debut album, "Ru The World," has been revealed by popular Nigerian singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka.

He claimed that his selfish relationships with his ex-girlfriends served as the inspiration for the song.

Despite holding his ex-girlfriends in "very close" affection, the 23-year-old singer claimed he was "so cruel" to them.

He stated this in a viral video making the rounds on the internet.

Ruger said, “Everything you hear on this album is like everything that has happened to me. There is this particular song called ‘Dear Ex’ on my album; it’s about three relationships I was in at the same time.

“I was so cruel to these beautiful ladies, and I didn’t let them go until I wanted them to go. You know, I was just going to go and come back, and they were still waiting for me. I felt like I took advantage of it. The three of them were very dear to me.”
