Singer A Pass has revealed a little-known chapter of his life, sharing that he once played rugby before fully committing to his music career.
During an interview on NBS Plus, A Pass spoke about his past involvement in sports, noting that he used to play rugby casually while growing up, even though football was his main game at the time.
A Pass said his connection to rugby was partly influenced by people he admired in the sport, including Ugandan rugby star Philip Wokorach, who recently retired from international rugby.
Some of the people that are actually the people that I looked up to is like Wokorach who retired recently. Wokorach and I used to share boots, that’s how crazy it was though I was playing more football and he was playing rugby.
He also opened up about the rugby team he used to admire while growing up. According to him, he was a fan of Heathens Rugby Club, particularly during the years when the club was performing strongly.
Probably now I don’t know how they are playing because I haven’t been following, but it was the team that I looked at a lot.
However, A Pass admitted that he has not been actively following rugby or attending matches in recent years. He acknowledged that he feels he has not done enough to support Ugandan sports and hopes to change that.
I haven’t really gone to the matches, I haven’t really seen as much but I definitely have to do that. I feel I haven’t supported enough the Ugandan sports. It’s one thing I think I should do more.
