I am expecting name: "sumar"
I don't know anything about byebug but I believe it has nothing to do with it. If you want to debug a single user, you should put
@msguser = User.where(id: params['recipients']).first
That will give you one user instead of a collection of user(s). What I believe you were doing before was calling the name of the collection, which would be User. Another way of doing it is
@msguser = User.find(params['recipients'])
