In a rare and heartening display of compassion, the dynamic and philanthropic Ugandan trap artist, Rickman Manrick, brought the curtain down on 2023 and ushered in the new year with an altruistic luncheon and community welfare giveaway in the Bakuli ghettos of Kampala—the very place he once called home. The announcement of this benevolent initiative came through Bryan Morel Publications, representing Rickman, and included a ground breaking collaboration with Yo Kuku!, a leading poultry supplier.

The collaborative effort materialized into an extraordinary donation of over 300 kilograms of premium chicken during a festive luncheon for the Bakuli community. The significance of this event was further amplified by Rickman’s choice of Bakuli, the locale of his inaugural hit, “Bango,” establishing a poignant link with the Mengo community.

Kicking off with a hamper distribution to more than 50 families, the event included essential items such as soap, sanitary materials, sugar, cooking oil, bread, posho, rice, clothes, beddings, and various household necessities. Rickman, along with his fandom team, extended the heartwarming gesture by treating over 300 individuals to a hearty meal, creating an atmosphere of communal warmth and shared joy.
Before the event, there was a pre-tease at Yo Kuku’s offices, generating anticipation as Rickman hinted at a brewing collaboration with the brand’s corporate social responsibility initiative. The outreach extended to traversing ghettos, distributing Yo Kuku-branded luncheon and hamper chicken packages to families. The social impact of the initiative was highlighted not only to the press but also to friends and mainstream media.
Culminating in an album listening party, the event became a platform for an intimate connection between Rickman’s music and the community. The lineup featured notable artists like Bexxx A DJ and an open mic session with local talents headed by Scorpion Shabba. Yokuku took advantage of the moment to deliver a speech, expressing their commitment to furthering the virtue of giving back to society in the upcoming year.
