The musician stated in a viral video seen by this publication that he abandoned his father because he was never present in his life while growing up.
"Babangu hajawahi kunisaidia. Alimtoroka mamangu. Hakuja kumzika. Alidharau talanta yangu," Tanzanian musician Ommy Dimpoz says. This comes after his father, Nyembo, was spotted driving a TukTuk. "Niliwahi kupata nafasi ya kukutana na baba mara moja. Aliniambia ana watoto 15."

The musician, who was raised by his deceased mother, said he learned that parents should take care of their kids even if they aren't able to support them. Wealth is not nearly as vital as romantic love.
"Kitu ambacho nimeweza kukiona ambayo watu wengi twatakiwa tujifunze kwa waliobahatika kuwa wazazi miaka hii ambaya kuna mitendao na ambao wanatarajia kuwa wazazi, ni kwamba hakuna kitu bora utamtendea mtoto kama utamwonyesha mapenzi kwamba unamjali unamcare ata kama huna kitu. Hicho ndo kitu pekee katika maisha yangu mimi naweza kusema nilikikosa. Kwa sababu nililelewa katika mazingira ambayo namuona mama tu tangia nimezaliwa mbaka nakua na kwa bahati mbaya mamangu akafariki wakati bado nko primary school," he said.
Ommy added that his father didn't even bother to attend his mom's funeral or even console him for the loss.
"Katika msiba wa mamangu baba sikumuona, hakunitafuta ata kunipa pole. Unajua ni mtu ambaye alikimbia majukumu moja kwa moja."
He said that his father had raised his 15 other children with great responsibility, but had purposefully chosen to ignore him because he had fathered him with his late mother outside of marriage.
"Lakini mwenyezi Mungu siku zote ndo anajua siri kubwa ya maisha, yule mtoto ambaye alikua hadhaminiwi na hana dhamani akaja kuwa mtu fulani. Ndo sasa hivi kinachoendelea na kilichotokea. Babangu kwenye familia yake yeye ana watoto zaidi ya kumi na tano ambao hao walilelewa na yeye kwa sababu mimi nlikua mtoto wa nje ya ndoa lakini sasa hivi baba anataka anataka atambulike ni baba Ommy Dimpoz, hataki kuskia chochote yeye. Yeye anachotaka ni 'mimi ni babake Ommy Dimpoz'."
