MC Kats wants God to use him, and also give him a fresh start in life as all the things he achieved in normal life was just a waste of time apart from his 6 kids.
While at the Worship House located in Nansana, MC Kats said he wants to positively inspire youth, most especially those caught up in an endless and compulsive cycle of drug addiction and even though social media was recently awash with articles that described him as “emotionally unstable” and “mentally ill” ever since he came out on his HIV-positive status.
“People have branded me as one mentally ill, but that is not true. I’m 36 years, and have 6 children, Those I have grown up with know about it. However, when I went to London, I don’t know why, but all I did was cry during one show, saying, ‘thank you God’. When I returned to Uganda one ‘Uncut’ show presenter asked to interview me. He wanted to find out why I cried during the London shows. Truth is, I did not plan to disclose my status. Nevertheless, I was tired of keeping it off” Kats stated infront of a Church led by Pastor Wilson Bugemebe on 19th January, 2020
MC Kats started his TV career while at WBS at the age of 14. He has had the HIV virus for about 13 years, and doctors in London described him as a walking ‘miracle’ after finding his CD4 count critically low, a threshold for heightened risk of death.
Bugembe who once studied with MC Kats revealed how the prominent entertainment figure was once a Scripture Union leader in high school for 3 years. on top of that, his mother is also a devoted preacher.
“I got saved. I have had God at heart, and always heard what you preach. I have always feared attending prayer services for fear of being judged, have land that has been idle for 7 years, but you can build a church there” MC Kats told Bugembe
Pastor Bugembe asked MC Kats if there is a decision he ‘regrets to this day’. “I wish I stayed in Church, I got whatever I was looking for [in the world], but gained nothing. I have slept around, consumed alcohol, stayed out in clubs and boarded the plane. There is nothing much I gained from it all. I have wasted so many years” he answered.
