During his birthday celebrations, Kasuku, who crossed paths with Gashumba, revealed that she earns in a single day what many in the gig economy, like himself, earn in approximately four months. "In just one day [she makes what] most of us make... in four months," explained the contentious YouTuber, illustrating to Ruth Kalibbala Bwanuka how strategic positioning and self-worth can significantly impact earnings in the gig economy.
As per the Talk and Talk Show host, Gashumba demonstrated her earning potential by displaying a receipt showing a payment of Shs20 million for a single night of hosting at a bar. "There's a way she's built her audience and she knows her value," emphasized Kasuku, noting that she influences aspirational youngsters modeling their lifestyles after her.
Kasuku, a seasoned journalist with experience spanning Star TV, Red Pepper, Daily Monitor, KFM, Spark TV, and Dembe FM, holds considerable influence in the entertainment industry and boasts one of the most-watched YouTube channels in the nation. His extensive experience includes brand promotion across various sectors such as banking, manufacturing, and hospitality, lending credibility to his insights.
He further explained that Gashumba had valid reasons for leaving full-time media work, as her earnings from gigs were substantial enough to sustain her lifestyle.
