“Every household has its own dynamics. It’s a personal matter. I have many wives it’s the truth. In the whole family, it is me who has taken the challenge, not to disappoint our elder,” Chipukeezy said.

Expressing his unwavering support for polygamy, the comedian believes that as long as he can take care of his family, he should be able to have multiple wives and extend his legacy.

He acknowledged that he had attempted monogamous relationships but found that it wasn’t the right fit for him.
