Dancer-turned-manager Ibra Buwembo has opened up about his fallout with young rapper Ring Rapper, revealing that their working relationship ended after the artist’s family questioned his involvement in the rapper’s career.
According to Ibra, members of Ring Rapper’s family confronted him and accused him of depending on the young artist for his livelihood.
Ibra said the comments came despite the time and effort he had invested in helping Ring Rapper develop his music career.
“His family said that I survive off him but it’s been a year since I stopped and I have grown 50 times more than how I was,” Ibra said.
The manager explained that he had previously dedicated much of his time and energy to Ring Rapper because he genuinely believed in the young artist’s talent and potential.
“I had fully concentrated on him because I wanted him to succeed and reach for the skies,” Ibra said.
He described the situation as disappointing, particularly because he believed his work with Ring Rapper was intended to help the rapper establish himself as a major name in the music industry.
Ibra said he saw significant potential in the young rapper and believed that, with the right support and guidance, Ring Rapper could have built a successful career capable of improving his family’s financial circumstances.
“He had potential to become a star,” Ibra said.
He further suggested that Ring Rapper’s potential success could have changed the financial situation of his family, adding that the rapper could eventually have become an important source of income for them.
Ibra’s account presents the end of the management relationship as a turning point in his own career as well. He says that since stepping away from Ring Rapper about a year ago, he has experienced significant personal growth.
His comments also underline the difficult dynamics that can arise when artists, managers and family members become closely involved in a young performer’s career.
While Ibra maintains that he invested in Ring Rapper because he believed in his potential, the family’s alleged concerns ultimately contributed to the end of their professional relationship.
The claims about the family’s comments and Ring Rapper’s career potential come from Ibra’s account. The response of Ring Rapper and his family was not included in the source material.
