"I don't have any cash... I'm a broke man. I'm like you, you're broke and I'm also broke. So, if a girl buys me a shoe, that's not bad, "Manrick told a group of reporters.
"I get by with the help of my rich woman. If anyone is hurt, please come and take it from me. My girlfriend is rich, which isn't a bad thing. She's great, she's the best, and she's great. There's nothing you can say to change that. She has everything, and you can't take anything away from her."
Manrick's comments came out on the same day that Sheilah Gashumba's father, Frank, was heard ranting in a voice note about how his daughter has fallen so far that her boyfriends now depend on her."One day, they found me at a restaurant in Nsambya. He was with that rascal and his father. His ears and nose were pierced, and his hair looked like Joseph Kony's. Kony is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Gashumba, you bring me such people? Even if I'm dead, "In the sound clip, Gashumba says. He also says that he bought Sheilah a BMW, which she then gave to her boyfriend, who can't pay to fix it.
Sheilah and an unnamed boyfriend recently asked Gashumba for Shs4 million to change the car's battery, but he said no, "insisting that they only change the ignition because the battery is fine."Gashumba said that when she went to the US, he had to take the car to a paint shop.
In September 2022, she went to the US for the last time.
"When she moved to America, it was my job as a parent to take it to be sprayed... How can a man not be able to buy his own car?" Gashumba wonders. Manrick, on the other hand, has said that he doesn't see himself getting married to Sheilah or having kids with her anytime soon.
