Kin Bella had hinted that Rickman’s circle had changed, claiming he now surrounds himself with babes who “don’t add value.”
After singer Kin Bella recently lobbed a few verbal grenades his way, branding him “classless” and suggesting he’d lost his shine, Rickman has finally responded. And no, it wasn’t with fire. It was with ice-cold calm.
Speaking in a recent interview, Rickman didn’t deny the chatter. In fact, he embraced it. The very fact that people are still discussing his lifestyle, his choices, and his love life, he says, is proof enough that his star hasn’t dimmed.
Being “everywhere,” according to Rickman, doesn’t make him small but rather, it makes him significant.
“I have been in every situation. I have been abroad, I have been in Uganda, and I studied a bit of psychology. I found out that earthly things shouldn’t finish us.”
That line alone tells you this wasn’t going to be a petty clapback.
Kin Bella had hinted that Rickman’s circle had changed, claiming he now surrounds himself with babes who “don’t add value.” Rickman, however, isn’t losing sleep over that definition, mostly because he doesn’t share it.
To him, class isn’t parked in a driveway or hanging off a wrist.
“I won’t starve myself just because I want to buy a Range Rover, crash it, go to a bar, buy 10 bottles, then return home to take tea. That’s a no. Class is the heart.”
In Rickman’s world, class lives in character, not credit cards. It’s about how you treat people when the cameras are off, not how loud your lifestyle is when they’re on.
He also brushed aside the idea that he carefully curates a “star image.” Fame, he insists, wasn’t even the original plan.
“I was originally a footballer. Music came as a by the way.”
That grounding seems to explain why Rickman is comfortable moving between worlds… red carpets and roadside realities included.
“I have seen everything, and that’s why I can board a boda boda and not cover myself with a hoodie like other artists.”
If he wants a Rolex, he’ll buy one. If he wants to walk with a particular person, he’ll do that too. No apologies. No explanations.
As for Kin Bella’s assessment of his current relationships? Rickman isn’t bothered.
“So if she thinks I don’t have class because of the women I’m now seeing, it’s no problem.”
And just like that, the man accused of losing his appeal proves the opposite by not fighting for validation at all.
