Ugandan singer Rickman Manrick has revealed that rapper Fefe Bussi played a key role in inspiring his music journey.
Speaking in an interview with a local television station, Rickman shared that his passion for writing music dates back to as early as 2008 when he was still in school.
According to him, fellow musician Gravity Omutujju introduced him to Fefe Bussi, whose rap challenges sparked his interest in music.
“Fefe Bussi was Gravity’s friend and I was studying with Gravity. In 2008 we met because Gravity was always speaking about him. I was actually inspired to start writing music by him. I was not performing it but only putting it down,” he explained.
Rickman noted that although he didn’t immediately pursue performing, the exposure motivated him to begin writing lyrics, which later shaped his music career.
He also expressed gratitude to both Fefe Bussi and Gravity, saying he witnessed their journeys from the early stages and drew inspiration from their growth in the industry.
