Nigerian artist Ruger has sparked significant controversy over the lyrics in his latest song, where he sings, "If a girl worries me, I delete her and put her in bin bag." The line has caused an uproar on social media, with many critics deeming it disturbing and irresponsible, especially given the current concerns over femicide in the country.
The graphic nature of the lyrics has raised alarms, with listeners arguing that it trivializes violence against women. Some have compared the sentiment to homicide, linking it to the ongoing crisis of femicide in Nigeria. Critics also questioned the lack of guidance from those around the artist during the creation of the track, suggesting that no one advised him against such harmful content.
While some find the lyrics shocking and unacceptable, others have highlighted the need for artists to be more mindful of the impact their music can have on society, particularly in a climate where gender-based violence is an increasing concern.
