In a jaw-dropping moment aired on the latest Kampala Creme episode, Mamideb was handed ownership of luxury 3-bedroom apartments in Kololo, valued at over $500,000 — a surprise that left her visibly emotional and fans buzzing across social media.
From Requests to Reality
Mamideb had previously made headlines for requesting an apartment for each of her children — a statement that divided opinions online, with critics questioning whether she deserved such lavish gifts.
Fast forward, and those conversations were silenced when Michael presented her not only with apartment ownership papers but also a MacBook Pro, camera gear worth UGX 50 million, and a stunning collection of 12 designer perfumes.
