After fighting an underground battle for the past four years to get out of his father’s shadow, Bebe Cool’s son Allan Hendrik Ssali has changed his stage name to ‘Paper Daddy.’
According to Hendrik, who claims to have been named mentored by the best (Bebe Cool), he has chosen the name ‘Paper Daddy’ primarily because the public has continuously failed to pronounce and write his ‘Hendrik’ name. However, he also says it is because he believes ‘Paper Daddy’ will easily trend, and because it describes who he is as a ‘rich boy.’
Hendrik also reveals that his present rebranding comes with a big musical project that he believes will see him top the 2019 musical charts. The singer who is a photocopy of his father in appearance claims that since the year began, he has been recording a song every week and recently he released an audio titled ‘Tebakutambala’.
“For the past four years, I have been doing research and also learning a lot about the entertainment industry. Now I am ready and good to go,” Allan Hendrik –sorry, Paper Daddy, says.
Music aside, Hendrik is also currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Software Engineering at the International University of East Africa (IUEA).
