Frank Gashumba was heard accusing Sheila of spending money on young males like Rickman Manrick in an audio tape that quickly became popular.
A week after her father accused her, Sheila Gashumba escalated her spending spree with an expensive trip to Dubai with Rickman. She spent over 15 million Ugandan Shillings on their holiday together, with her covering all costs, including lodging, transportation, and meals.
Despite their close bond, Rickman Manrick claims he is not yet prepared to start a family with Sheila Gashumba. The musician admitted that his inability to provide for his children as he would like is why he is currently waiting.
Rickman expressed his displeasure on social media in response to Dr Jane Egau Okou’s letter, which was distributed to all private and public schools in the nation and forbade all performances and concerts that use secular music in 2022.
He claimed that many artists and entertainers had been unfairly affected by this restriction as some gave respectable and decent performances in schools.
He believed that the prohibition of music in schools would surely present many difficulties for the educational system. It denied school-aged children the ability to express their joy, relieve their tension, and deal with their anxieties, as well as the chance to hear inspirational remarks from artists.
Also, it would lead to more incidences of indiscipline, like students skipping class to attend concerts by their favourite artists.
When Rickman published his list of the best artists in Uganda, social media went crazy. He also left off Eddy Kenzo, with whom he collaborated on the song “Enjoyment,” causing some confusion among the general public.
