Singer and songwriter Derrick Ddungu, popularly known as Rickman Manrick, has vehemently dismissed rumors suggesting he is romantically involved with older, wealthy women, often dubbed "sugar mummies."
In an exclusive statement, the musician clarified that he has always led a simple, humble life, and has never been in a relationship with anyone significantly older than him. According to Rickman, the only person he has ever dated is his agemate, a relationship marked by just a few months' age difference.
“I’ve never dated any sugar mummy. I just live my simple life. The only person I’ve ever dated was my agemate, but we are only separated by the gap in months,” Rickman said, putting an end to the ongoing rumors.
Known for his low-key presence in the public eye, Rickman prefers to stay away from the glitter and drama of celebrity life. He explained that avoiding high-profile social events and interactions with other public figures is a conscious decision aimed at steering clear of unnecessary conflicts and controversies.
“I choose to stay away from too many associations with public figures to avoid conflicts and counter accusations,” he said. “The only time I engage with them is at the Bayern Arena pitch during soccer.”
On the professional front, Rickman expressed his ambition to take his music to a global scale. However, he emphasized that he is not rushing the process, believing that the right opportunities will come when the time is right.
“I’m taking my time. When it’s my time, my gates will open, and progress will follow,” Rickman added.
Rickman’s statement serves as a reminder that, despite the public's fascination with celebrities' personal lives, he remains focused on his music career and living authentically.
