King Michael says fans will never find him unveiling a new mansion on social media, even if he buys one tomorrow.
His remarks followed Zuena Kirema‘s post showing off the luxury mansion Bebe Cool bought for her in Bwebajja.
In the post, she thanked her husband for the gift and praised Allah as she celebrated the family’s latest milestone.
The home, reportedly worth $1 million (about Shs3.7 billion), quickly became one of the biggest celebrity stories online.
As congratulatory messages poured in, King Michael offered a different perspective.
Speaking to Galaxy TV, the dancehall singer said he no longer sees any value in putting his wealth or family life on display because doing so only creates unnecessary enemies.
Even so, he congratulated Bebe Cool on the milestone.
Personally, I am way past posting my assets for people to see because, at the end of the day, you create enemies and annoy people. I congratulate Big Size Bebe Cool.
King Michael believes Bebe Cool’s new mansion has finally answered people who spent years claiming the Gagamel boss did not own a home.
He admitted that he understands exactly what it feels like to have people judge your financial status by what they see, or no longer see, on social media.
During the early 2000s, King Michael became one of Uganda’s flashiest entertainers, often making headlines for expensive cars, jewellery and his lavish lifestyle.
When he eventually stopped putting that side of his life in the public eye, many people assumed his fortunes had taken a hit, an assumption he says could not have been further from the truth.
According to King Michael, the lifestyle never changed. He simply reached a point where he no longer felt the need to put every achievement on display.
Those around me know I am living a good life. I thank God the life I am living is what I dreamed of. I do not have to prove it to anyone.
