Popular Nigerian musician, Rudeboy, also known as King Rudy, has ignited national debate with his recent statement, “Let them run the country how they want to.”
The singer's nonchalant attitude towards the current state of governance in Nigeria has sparked outrage. The controversial remark was during an interview. The statement seems to be a dismissive stance on the average Nigerian's challenges. This includes economic hardship, insecurity, and poor leadership.
Many Nigerians have taken to social media to express their disappointment and frustration with Rudeboy’s comments. This is because of the proposed nationwide protest slated for August 1. Many fans are accusing him of being insensitive to the plight of the masses. Others defend the singer, arguing that he can have his opinion and that his statement should not be overanalyzed.
As the controversy continues to rage, it remains to be seen how Rudeboy will address the public outcry.
