The sad thing is if Ruger had hit the criminal who harassed him sexually on stage, people still gon say why would he hit a woman? Men are really suffering.

The only things that saved that babe is “di”
That’s the only two letters that differentiates “Ruger” from “Rudiger”
Ask De Bruyne

This just happened to Ruger.
A lady grabbed his penis while performing.This will not trend.
There will be no outrage on it.Because the victim is a man.
And the aggressor is a woman.
So everybody will look away.“It’s one of those things”.
He’s a man. His life doesn’t matter. pic.twitter.com/PNEEC8VnsB— #OurFavOnlineDoc (@DrOlufunmilayo) March 27, 2022
If Ruger slapped that girl like y’all said he should have, the energy on the TL would have been different.

Watched the sexual assault video of Ruger and I feel traumatized too. It’s so scary, the man was just performing his craft and someone took away his joy and peace.
Imagine other men that go through worse daily but can’t say because the world would mock them.
The world is unjust

I hope Ruger is fine. That girl is very stup!d!!

Ruger handed the situation well, he couldn’t have reacted better than that. He knows as a celebrity he is at disadvantage. If he reacted with violence, nobody would have cared about what happened, same people telling him to boot the girl would have dragged him for his action.

Burna: *Kicks someone on stage
Twitter: He’s too arrogant, he needs to calm down
Ruger: Walks away from a Lady that groped his golden chariot on stage
Twitter; That’s why i like Burna, e for don deck am.

Ruger should have damned his celebrity status and slapped that girl who grabbed his crotch hard across the cheek. Twice. Give her two hot akanti.
Nothing will happen…
— UG (@UgwunnaEjikem) March 27, 2022
Ruger spent a good 10 seconds thinking of whether to leave his bootprint on that lady’s face or not.
Ultimately not worth risking his career over.

Big love and respect @rugerofficial handled that well,stage security is one area we ignore so much in this country,a damn shame.

Ruger was brutally sexually assaulted on stage yesterday and some women are laughing.
If it was a woman that was assaulted, e feminists will come out with weapons that even Putin doesn’t know exists!

Dear men,
If you are ever in Ruger’s position;
Pls SIMPLY WALK AWAY.
Then report to the right quarters.If you beat/kick a woman because she harassed you sexually, the script will be flipped against you and you can be jailed for physical violence.
Pls ignore these idiots here.

Ruger should have smashed the mic 🎤 on her face,
He should have slapped her,
He should have kicked her,
He should have beaten her,
Her have dragged her hair.
If he did any of the above, na Una go still come abuse am.
Thanks Ruger for controlling ur anger.

The funny thing is that if Ruger had slapped that lady after she harassed him, some evil forces here would have cancelled him because he hit a lady. They will forget why he reacted that way. You can’t win as a man in this society.

Oh my God!! How is Ruger feeling right now? This is sexual assault and it should be taken up. Why does any man have to pass through this? How worse can violation get? The world isn’t safe for men anymore!! I can’t shake right now, I’m busy, I will shake later..
