Veteran rapper Michael Ugochukwu Steven, better known as Ruggedman, has made a bold claim about his early success in the Nigerian music industry. In a recent interview with Echo Room, Ruggedman stated that he was the first young Nigerian artist to own a car, ahead of Afrobeats icons like P-Square and D’banj.
Ruggedman revealed that he purchased a BMW for N900,000 in 2004, a time when most young artists in the industry did not have personal vehicles. "I bought my BMW for N900,000 in 2004. I was the first young Nigerian artist to own a car before them P-Square and D’banj," he said.
He added that while other artists with cars were signed to Kennis Music, the vehicles were provided by the label for official use and not personally owned. Ruggedman also highlighted his role as a trendsetter, claiming he was the first young artist to print posters and calendars to promote his music.
