Nigerian superstar Michael Adebayo Olayinka, professionally known as Ruger was delighted to meet his Kenyan lookalike, ' Ruger wa Kayole ' for the first time.
Ruger who is in Kenya, was hosted on Citizen TV’s 10Over10. The host Aziza Hashim told him she had prepared a surprise for him and went ahead to introduce the Kenyan Ruger.
The striking resemblance between the duo stood out with the Nigerian star appreciating the Ruger wa Kayole for finding inspiration in his music, lifestyle and sense of fashion.
The video showed the two dancing on stage together as the crowd applauded.
“It is my first time meeting Ruger, and I feel really good," said Ruger wa Kayole.
He said his accurate imitation of Ruger enabled him to travel to Sudan twice.
Ruger wa Kayole would easily be mistaken for the Nigerian singer, wearing the same eye patch and pink hair.
In a previous interview with BBC Entertainment, the Afrobeat sensation expressed complete acceptance for his Kenyan impersonator, making it clear that he would not take any legal action as Ruger wa Kayole was merely trying to make a living, just like anyone else.
"I mean, I’m happy for him, I wish him well. He’s making his P’s. Everybody must eat because when my people were telling me, ‘Have you seen this?’ – No, but I say the man’s just tryna hustle, you understand. He’s promoting my songs in a way because he’s not making his songs and saying that’s Ruger who made the songs; he’s singing mine. At the end of the day, they’ll go back to their house and stream the songs. That’s the most important thing. I beg everybody should calm down.”
