Bebe Cool says he now intends to send his two sons, aged twelve and nine, to study in Masaka, including enrolment in a football academy and local schools.
Speaking during an interview with singer Wonder Jr, Bebe Cool explained that the decision came after observing Abba Marcus, the son of his close friend and fellow musician Jose Chameleone.
According to Cool, Abba seemed to take his father’s sacrifices, such as providing a top-tier education and other luxuries, for granted.
Cool, whose real name is Moses Ssali, revealed that his sons, who hold American citizenship, currently study at Kabojja International School. However, he believes the move to Masaka will instil a stronger sense of responsibility and a problem-solving mindset.
From Abba Marcus, I learnt that parents can provide everything, but children may still fail to appreciate the struggles involved said Cool.
He noted that Abba’s actions, including publicly criticising his father and close relatives, shaped his new perspective on parenting.
“I want my kids to experience reality,” he said, adding that he now prioritises teaching his children life lessons over pampering them.
He expressed concerns about the growing sense of entitlement among children.
Bebe Cool previously criticised the Abba’s approach and warned of potential future regrets.
“You can’t just open your mouth to talk to your parents like that,” he said. “You have to humble yourself; otherwise, it comes with curses. Right now, as a young person, you may not see it, but when you stand in your father’s shoes, you’ll understand.”
