The Tupaate singer took to her social media saying she is a proud farmer minting millions of cash from Chicken and Turkey keeping.
The former Big Talent singer became more popular in the 2021 year following the smash hit. The singer dropped the Tupaate four-track EP the previous year but Ugandans started jamming to it fully in 2021.
Pounds says poultry is her side hustle and it’s one of those which keeps her moving alongside music.
The singer believes there is more to life than education and music thus falling in love with poultry farming as another source of income.
Other musicians doing farming include Mun G with a poultry farm and King Saha among others.
