NRM didn't make me a responsible parent - Bebe Cool defends son’s career rise

The singer was prompted to hit back at a commentator who remarked about other young Ugandan footballers "who are more talented" than Alpha, but lacking opportunities thanks to the ruling NRM government that Bebe Cool supports.

“There's so many talented young boys even better than your son but because of our poor government it's only parents like you who are close to the government that have that chance of making their dreams and lifting their talents,” ranted Twitter user “Captain Frank.

Frank was replying to a video that the musician shared of him and his son hitting the gym as part of the latter’s football training.

“These young guys just need support from parents, surely only that it's important they too value the support,” the musician captioned the video.

Hitting back at Frank, Bebe Cool, real names Moses Ssali pointed out that his drive to support his son’s career had nothing to do with the ruling Government or his support of it.

The Gagamel Entertainment boss wondered whether it was the government that gave him his children in the first place.

“It’s such cheap thinking that will always keep you in poverty coz you about to tell me that its also government who told me to get married,have kids and be responsible enough to support their talents as a parent,” he posted.

Bebe Cool has in the past revealed how he intends to do whatever it takes to have his son play football at the highest level.

Pulse Sports reported, Monday that the singer had hired a yet-to-be identified foreign private trainer to help elevate his son to a whole new level as he hopes to realize his dreams of playing professionally.

The pair has been on a European tour and recently posted pictures at Arsenal's Emirates stadium and PSG's Parc des Princes in France.
