Fairly known Freeboy, real name Mandela Mubarak, was a mystery to several fans thanks to his unique sense of style, fashion and music. His hoarse voice blended perfectly with Nwagi’s soothing touch. The two seemed a pair made in heaven for the radio waves and listeners.

The music video itself was a breath of fresh air for the fans who were looking for a refreshening music. Shot in a rural setting with the characters in African fabrics, full of colour and plush greenery, Freeboy seemed to be the new music sherrif in town.

However, he did not live to the billing. Since the breakthrough, his career has been on steady decline forcing him to relocate to his roots in West Nile district, Arua.

The singer says he is looking for a new manager to get his career back on the road.

While speaking on a local TV station, the singer noted that he is struggling financially and needs a boost to release songs. He has songs written and some are still in the studio due to lack of finances.

"I lost my manager who was the man behind everything. We had planned a lot but now I don't have management to help me with my career. It's the main reason I am not releasing music, " he said.

Freeboy lost his manager Treggy Eyotre Godwin in March 2021.
