• Dictator Amir says his breakup with Chosen Becky deeply affected his mental health and made him consider leaving Uganda.

• At his lowest, he had Shs 7 million saved and was ready to start over in a new country.

• Instead of leaving, he rebuilt his life and now owns two successful restaurants in the hospitality industry.

Dictator Amir, born Amir Mutebi, has opened up about one of the darkest chapters of his life — his very public breakup with singer Chosen Becky.

The former couple, who share three children, were together for several years during their youthful days. However, their relationship eventually crumbled amid allegations of mistreatment, domestic violence, and neglect. What followed was a bitter and highly publicized split that left both parties at the center of public scrutiny.

Speaking in a one-on-one interview on Shalom 256, Amir revealed just how deeply the separation affected him. Beyond the headlines and social media debates, he says the experience took a serious toll on his mental health — so much so that he considered leaving Uganda altogether.

“Everything I had built for life had gone down the drain. Life didn’t make sense to me anymore,” he admitted.

At his lowest point, Amir says he had about Shs 7 million saved on his bank account and was ready to walk away from everything and start afresh in a new country. To him, it felt like there was nothing left to hold onto.

However, he eventually reconsidered the decision. Instead of fleeing, he chose to rebuild.

Today, Amir says he is reaping the rewards of that choice. Having moved on from the painful chapter, he has redirected his energy into business and is now thriving in the hospitality industry, proudly owning two restaurants.

Looking back, what once felt like the end of the road turned out to be the beginning of a new chapter.
