Not everyone dreams of the traditional family setup — and Kapeke just made that very clear.
The Ugandan artist has sparked a wave of reactions online after openly revealing that he wants to become a father, but without being tied to the child’s mother in any romantic or long-term arrangement.
Yes, you read that correctly.
During a candid interview with Galaxy TV, the Kaba singer explained that his ideal situation would involve having a woman give birth to his child, hand over full responsibility to him, and then walk away without any emotional strings attached.
And somehow, that wasn’t even the wildest part.
Kapeke, whose real name is Derrick Nsubuga, did not hesitate when discussing his unusual parenting plan.
Speaking openly during the interview, the singer explained that while he deeply wants a child, he has no interest in staying with the mother afterward. Instead, he envisions raising the child entirely on his own.
“I want a kid, but I wouldn’t want to stay with the mother,” he said.
According to Kapeke, the arrangement would be simple: after giving birth, the woman would hand over the child, receive payment, and move on with her life while he takes full responsibility as the parent.
Naturally, the interviewer pointed out the obvious — such arrangements are rarely cheap.
But Kapeke’s response immediately caught attention.
The singer appeared genuinely surprised by the idea that it could be expensive, arguing that because he would handle the long-term costs of raising the child himself, the process should actually cost less.
That statement alone sent social media into overdrive.
Because while some fans viewed his comments as brutally honest, others were left wondering whether Kapeke fully understood the emotional and legal complexities surrounding parenthood.
Then things got even more unexpected.
Rather than speaking hypothetically, Kapeke directly invited any interested woman to contact him if they were willing to enter such an arrangement.
“If you’re out there and can do this for me, come,” he said. “I’ll pay you, you give me a child, and we part ways.”
The internet collectively paused after that one.
Almost instantly, clips of the interview began circulating online, with viewers debating whether Kapeke’s proposal was practical, controversial, or simply another celebrity moment designed to spark conversation.
Either way, people definitely had opinions.
Kapeke has steadily built a name for himself in Uganda’s music scene thanks to his energetic style and growing catalog of hits, including the popular track Kaba.
Known for speaking his mind, the artist has often embraced an unapologetic personality that keeps fans guessing about what he might say next.
Still, this latest interview hit differently.
Celebrity conversations about relationships and parenthood are nothing new, but Kapeke’s comments stood out because they challenged the traditional expectations many people associate with family life.
In many cultures — especially across African societies — marriage and parenting are often viewed as deeply connected. That’s partly why his statements immediately sparked heated reactions online.
Some listeners interpreted his words as a reflection of modern independence and changing relationship dynamics.
Others felt the idea reduced parenthood to a transaction.
And honestly, both sides came ready for debate.
The moment that truly exploded online came when Kapeke confidently suggested the arrangement “should be cheap.”

Fans immediately noticed the bluntness of the statement, and social media users wasted no time turning the clip into memes, reaction videos, and heated discussion threads.
Within hours, the interview was spreading across TikTok, Facebook, and X, with users reposting the clip alongside laughing emojis, shocked reactions, and endless commentary.
“The way he said it so casually is sending me,” one user joked.
Another wrote, “Kapeke just unlocked a conversation nobody was prepared for.”
The internet had thoughts, and they were definitely not holding back.
Meanwhile, others focused less on the humor and more on the deeper implications of what he was proposing.
Because beneath the viral jokes sat a surprisingly serious conversation about fatherhood, responsibility, and modern relationships.
Some fans praised Kapeke for at least being upfront about his intentions instead of pretending to want a traditional relationship.
Others questioned whether such an arrangement could realistically work without emotional complications later on.
It’s also unclear whether the singer was speaking entirely seriously or partially joking during the interview — something that only fueled more online speculation.
A few social media users even wondered whether his comments reflected growing fears around commitment among young celebrities.
Meanwhile, critics argued that parenting is far more emotionally layered than simply “paying and parting ways.”
Still, supporters pointed out one key detail: unlike many absent fathers, Kapeke repeatedly emphasized that he personally wants to raise and care for the child himself.
That detail shifted the conversation for many people.
Underneath all the jokes and viral reactions, Kapeke’s comments touched on something surprisingly personal — the desire to build a family while still protecting individual freedom.
Not everyone imagines parenthood the same way.
Some people dream of marriage first. Others simply want the experience of raising a child, regardless of traditional expectations.
Whether fans agree with his approach or not, Kapeke’s honesty opened up a larger conversation about how relationships, family structures, and modern parenting continue to evolve.
And clearly, people have a lot to say about it.
Ironically, while Kapeke insisted he wants “no strings attached,” his interview ended up creating one massive attachment: nonstop internet discourse.
Because the second he said, “I’ll pay you, you give me a child, and we part ways,” social media knew this conversation was never going away quietly
One thing’s certain — Kapeke definitely got the internet talking. But would anyone actually take him up on the offer? That’s the real question fans can’t stop debating.
