Ruggedman
After what would pass for hiatus, Ruggedman, Nigerian top rapper, will be back on the block making skits.
Ruggedman (real name, Michael Ugochukwu Steven), further explained that skit would be a component of the totality of his artistic package.
Unknown to many, he said, he started out as an actor, adding that he played minor roles in some movies before invading the rap space.
The ‘Wetin Dey’ crooner who has been missing from the music scene for some years, disclosed this in a recent interview with Hip TV.
Said Ruggedman:“I created a character called ‘Mazi Kalu’. He is Igbo, old man, has problems but at the same time, sometimes tries to solve problems.
“And if you know Ruggedman, I have always been in acting. I did my first waka pass [cameo], I think even before I became Ruggedman. I play extra in like two movies, Francis Agu’s movies back in the days. Of Course, you can find me in Toyin Abraham’s ‘The Ghost And The Tout’, you can find me in Jim Iyke’s ‘Bad Comments.’ So, I’ve done a lot of acting. I’m gonna start promoting that part of me really soon.
“And of course, I have been doing some skits here and there. But now, I have decided to get serious with the ‘Mazi Kalu’ character. So, it’s a character that is gonna be out there. There will be funny ones but of course, it’s still gonna teach you things”.
