Edrisa Kikomeko, the father of viral TikTok sensation Rango Tenge Tenge has spoken about his son.
Edrisa said his son loved money since he was 3 years old.
He revealed Tenge Tenge would even help with his chores to get some coins.
“He used to collect scrap around the community and sell it. Sometimes, we would find him with at least 1k on him. When I was building our house, I didn’t instruct Teng to join me, but I saw him mixing concrete to build the house,” he said.
The proud father said Tenge inherited a lot from him and is not surprised about his rise to fame.
“I remember I had a gang of boys at school who always ironed my clothes. I was; one of the most decent boys on campus. I had countless fights with my fellow students; I did all this because I was seeking fame in school,” the father said.
Recently, Tenge Tenge returned to Uganda after a successful business trip in Dubai.
The young tiktoker was in the Emirati City for nearly a month.
He had an all-expenses paid trip where he signed a lucrative contract as a brand ambassador for Zamelect Properties and Zam Zam Electronics.
The businesses are owned by Dubai twin tycoons Abdul Ghafoor and Muhammad Shakoor.
In Dubai, Tenge Tenge shot several promo videos for the companies as well as made appearances in their stores.
Tenge Tenge also appeared in video skits with other Dubai-based content creators and the twin tycoons.
