While acknowledging his discomfort with Tenge Tenge’s current pursuits, Kikomeko revealed his initial acceptance, noting that his son’s content thus far has not crossed into inappropriate territory. However, he emphasized his readiness to intervene should the need arise to maintain moral boundaries.
Interestingly, Kikomeko disclosed that Tenge Tenge is merely a stage name, with his son’s true identity being Saad Ssozi. Drawing from his own comedic inclinations during his school days, Kikomeko hinted at a familial predisposition towards humor. He debunked notions of parental neglect, asserting their consistent presence in their son’s life.
Regarding the financial aspects of Tenge Tenge’s career, Kikomeko expressed concerns about the utilization of resources provided to his son, citing instances where gifts such as an iPhone and a laptop seemed to vanish without trace. He emphasized a desire to streamline his son’s earning potential while ensuring equitable treatment for his manager.
Addressing recent commentary from comedian MC Mariachi, Kikomeko dismissed any offense, attributing it to comedic expression often misunderstood by the public.
He clarified misconceptions about his son’s physical well-being, attributing any altered appearances to camera effects rather than genuine concerns.
In contrast, Tenge Tenge’s mother expressed her dismay at Mariachi’s remarks, highlighting the emotional toll they inflicted. She vehemently denied allegations of parental abandonment, affirming their continued support for their son, who is presently under the management of dancer Wembley Mo.
In the complex landscape of modern parenthood, Edrisah Kikomeko’s reflections underscore the challenges and considerations involved in guiding a child through the dynamics of viral stardom while safeguarding their well-being and values.
