Nigerian Singer Ruger Unbothered By His Kenyan Look-Alike
Nigerian Afrobeats star Ruger has said he has no problem with a Kenyan man who impersonates him.
The man, known as Aston Kenya or Ruger wa Kayole, has been performing Ruger’s songs and wearing similar clothes and accessories.
Ruger said he is not bothered by the impersonation, as he believes it is simply a way for the man to hustle. He also said that the impersonator is helping to promote his music.
“He’s just trying to hustle, he’s actually promoting my songs,” Ruger said in an interview.
Some Kenyans have warned Aston Kenya that he could be sued for impersonation and copyright infringement. However, Ruger said he does not plan to take legal action against him.
“I’m not going to sue him,” Ruger said. “I’m just happy that he’s promoting my music.”
Ruger’s response has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised him for his support of others in the industry, while others have criticized him for not taking action against the impersonator.
Only time will tell whether Aston Kenya will continue to impersonate Ruger. However, one thing is for sure: Ruger’s response has certainly generated a lot of buzz.
