Local female rapper Mirembe Rachel, known as Recho Rey, has committed to never becoming pregnant or having children.
In a recent interview on a local radio show, the artist expressed that marriage does not appeal to her at all.
She feels the same way about having children. Recho Rey shared that she has never experienced any maternal instincts. While she wishes well for and respects all mothers, it is not something she has ever considered. She also mentioned that people have often told her she will eventually change her mind, but as she gets older, the idea becomes even less appealing to her.
“Honestly, I don’t see myself ever getting married because it’s not in my plans. I have no desire for it. It’s the same when someone asks if I’ll have kids. To be truthful, I have never had any nurturing instincts since I was young. I admire and respect those who choose to become parents, but it’s simply not something that interests me. Many people have suggested that I will outgrow this feeling, but the more I mature, the less attractive it seems to me,” she stated.
However, social media users quickly pointed out that fellow artist Sheebah Karungi shares a similar mindset, despite currently being a mother of one and often declaring that motherhood is the best gift she has ever received.
As a result, many believe it is only a matter of time before Recho Rey finds herself in a similar situation and looks back without regret.
