Rickman was described by many as a quick footballer with great ball control, skill and demeanor. By the looks of it, Rickman had a very bright career in football that not even once did any of hus teammates, coach or his own father doubt what he could do in the pitch.
However, the footballer later found fame in music thanks to his ‘Ebango’ hit that introduced him to the Uganda limelight and kept him way up there, competing with many musicians who did not only have one but song. Rickman was not so into music when he was still abroad and he kept on releasing music just for fun.
When Rickman returned to Uganda, he decided that he was to settle for music. In a tweet, he announced his commitment to music and how he was choosing to relocate back to the country and focus on his music career. Many believed he was doing this for the pencil thin influencer Sheila Gashumba whom he had a romantic relationship with at the time.
“You have been asking me for music and I can now say, I’ve relocated back to Uganda to concentrate on giving you hits after hits!! No more ghosting on y’all!! I will need your support and love through this journey!! RICKMAN MANRICK 2022,” he tweeted.
Speaking on NBS Sport, Patrick Kabuye, father to the star mentioned that he was always optimistic that the 'Ayi Zulu' singer might emulate him and take after him, becoming a football star and retiring as a coach since Kabuye himself was a KCCA FC player and is now a coach. He revealed that the reason why his son gave up on International football was not because of a woman or anything similar but rather because his son suffered a knee injury that side-lined his football dreams.
According to Kabuye, Rickman suffered a nasty knee injury that tore his anterior cruciate ligament and underwent surgery in 2016. It was then that he found a new light in music and had to halt his football dream.
