MC Mariachi has come out and denied his own father, something that has shocked many netizens as well as his followers. Despite the fame and money the comedian makes on a weekly basis, the comedian’s father resides in dire need as he is ailing and looks terribly needy as witnessed on National TV. The old-aged man looks so sickly, hunger-stricken, and malnourished.
A few weeks ago, however, Mariachi appeared at a burial he said was his father’s. He mourned together with the World and mentioned that losing a father was something that turned out to be an unexplainable pain. Besides that, this man who was shown on TV is called Byaruhanga, a kinyankore name, whereas Mariachi is Kasozi a Kiganda name. This elderly man said that Mariachi is just a nickname. But Mariachi is also a munyankore just like him.
Byaruhanga then revealed that the man Mariachi appeared to be burying then was his uncle. He however was raised by his uncle and that could have been the reason why he refers to him as his father too. This man however seems to harbor no bad feelings towards the comedian. He said that he’s proud of the comedian. And besides, he mentioned that he occasionally sends him support. Byaruhanga revealed that he rents a house of 60,000 shillings per month.He mentioned that his job has been working in a banana plantation and feeding pigs. However, he’s now too weak to work.
“My name is Byaruhanga Kasozi Matovu and Mariachi is my son. Mariachi is just a nickname but his name is Kasozi Charles and we are Banyankore from the Ngabi totem. The man who died that he refers to as his father was my half-brother and he grew up with him.”
He mentioned that he loves his son so much because there was not a day that he did not help him out mosy especially when he needed him. He mentioned that Mariachi took care of him always and sent him support. He however said it has been long without hearing from his son so he got worried and decided to ask for help in locating his son.
“He’s been helping me a lot. I love and I’m proud of him. However, my conditions are so worrisome now. I’m so weak and sickly and can no longer afford my basic needs. I have been working in a banana plantation and feeding someone’s pigs,” he said.
A neighbor of Byaruhanga who looks after him said that Mariachi used to occasionally come by. He would bring some food and other basic needs. He mentioned that Mariachi would even drive him to hospital but he’s now taken long. It’s this neighbor now that looks after him on her own expense since the comedian doesn’t give her any help.
Mariachi however denied this man is his father. He maintained that his biological father died and Byaruhanga is only an uncle. This is when he mentioned that the help he has been providing to this gentleman is just to a relative but no to his father.
