Afrobeats singer Ruger has recounted how he donated his first music earnings of N500,000 entirely to the church.
He discussed his financial journey during a recent interview with VJ Adams.
The “Asiwaju” hitmaker recounted how his early payments grew from N500,000 to N1 million and beyond within a year.
“At every point in my career, I felt happy with what I had because it got bigger each time. My first payment was like N500k when I first came out, and I can remember how I gave everything to the church.
” I didn’t use it, and the next payment was like a million, and I was so happy. Buying parfaits and stuff, and more millions came in the space of a year,” he said.
Ruger admitted that money transforms perspectives, countering claims that it doesn’t change people.
He noted that wealth alters how one addresses and approaches life’s challenges.
“Money changes everybody; don’t mind what others say. A lot of things change when you start making money; the way you address things and the way you approach things Is different.
“Some people are so rich that they don’t stress at all, that’s the point where I want to get. You see Jay Z? No matter how many times he’s called out, he never speaks. That’s the kind of money I want,” he said.
