Singer Qute Kaye's family shares little known details about his health

Kaye was arrested after he was found unscrewing car lights in a Kampala neighbourhood of Busega and charged with vandalism.

He was rescued from Natete Police Station by a concerned person on Thursday evening after the embarrassing scenario that shocked his fans.

Neglect

The singer's family has refuted claims that they abandoned him. His siblings and parents who are currently living abroad say they have helped him in all ways possible but nothing has charged over the years.

The family said Kaye didn't travel to live abroad because he wanted to focus on his then promising music career and they have been supporting him overtime.

His mother is renting him a house which he is currently staying in alone.

Mental rehabilitation

Kaye has been in a mental hospital twice and other private rehabilitation facilities in the country, according to his sister.

His sister says alcoholism and drug abuse have affected her brother a lot and caused depression, especially after when his music career hit a wall.

Drug abuse

His family also revealed that the singer is still using drugs. They claim that he squanders all the money on buying some pills to get him high.

House and car

Last year, Kaye got saved at Miracle Center in Rubaga after almost "dying in his house alone", according to his moving testimony.

The church, which is led by Pastor Robert Kayanja, offered him a house and a car -- plus started supporting him financially.

Reports indicate that the singer abandoned the house and sold the car at only UGX1m.
