MUBENDE, Uganda — Popular Ugandan musician Bebe Cool has fulfilled a heartfelt promise by officially handing over a newly constructed home to four-year-old TikTok sensation Bridgette and her family. The emotional handover ceremony took place in Mubende District on Friday.
The pledge to build the house originated five months prior during Bebe Cool’s annual “Tondeka E’Kiwatule” concert on Boxing Day 2024. The concert, themed “Tondeka E’Kiwatule Tuzimbire Bridget Enyumba” (Let’s put aside for Kiwatule, let’s build Bridget a house), was inspired by Bridgette’s online popularity and the difficult living conditions faced by her family.
