Wedding Bells Ain’t Ringing Anytime Soon For Me – Ruggedman

Here’s what Ruggedman told Vanguard about
his love life.

You seem not to be the romantic type?
Says who? I am very romantic when I’m with
the right woman. Just like love and marriage,
romance isn’t something I throw around.

I remember one St. Valentine’s day. I went to
see my Val but I didn’t meet her at home. I
tied a rose (a real one not plastic) to her door
and wrote my initials on a paper. When she
returned and saw it, she knew I was the one
who put it there.

The incident that made me put my romance in
check happened years ago too on another St.
Valentine’s day.
I bought loads of gifts and fifteen cards
because I don’t like getting just one.

I even
booked an hotel room for dinner and all. All
she did was say “you shouldn’t have done all
these!” She didn’t even bring me a card.
After that, I put a leash on my romance. She
has to be worth it before I show her that side
of me.

Can’t imagine a girl doing that to almighty
Ruggedman.

No. At that time, it was just the start of my
career. I hadn’t even recorded Baraje.
So how do you feel having experienced the
other side of love?
I learnt that life goes on no matter what, and
you need to know who you do things for.

Does that mean you don’t have anyone in your
life?
Right now I don’t have anybody in my life. It’s
been my work and me for a while now.
Although it feels somehow sometimes,
especially when I see couples out and about .

But I find solace with the thought that the right
person is out there for me.
So it means wedding bells isn’t ringing any time
soon?
I guess so but I’m very happy it’s ringing for
others and I pray their union stands the test of
time.

But is it so hard to find the right woman?
I guess it is sometimes especially now that
vanity rules. You find it hard knowing she is
with you for you or your status.I
It’s like you’ve really had hard times with
ladies.

Not at all, the ladies love me and I love them
right back. It’s getting the right one for me
that’s the issue. A while ago, Bisi Ibidapo-Obe
looked at me and said “Rugged, it’s not a curse
but before you find a babe for you, it will be
difficult.” She said I’m a fine man, successful
artiste and so, women will come and it will be
hard to know who is who. Now I understand
what she meant but God is in control.
