Comedian and radio presenter Mulamwah has stirred online reactions after revealing that he spent money originally meant for his wedding with ex-girlfriend Ruth K to gift himself a luxurious Mercedes Benz S-550 for his birthday.
Speaking during an interview, the entertainer admitted that after parting ways with Ruth K, he decided to prioritize himself and reward his hard work rather than mourn over a relationship that didn’t work out.
“That money was for the wedding, yes, but life changed. I looked at everything I’ve been through, and I decided to do something for myself. I’ve worked hard, I’ve built a name, and this Benz is a symbol of my journey,” Mulamwah said.
The revelation has ignited mixed reactions on social media, with fans and critics weighing in. Some praised him for choosing self-love and progress, while others criticized the decision as wasteful and insensitive, especially considering how public the relationship with Ruth K had become.
“Mulamwah just showed us that sometimes, you come first. Benz over heartbreak any day!” one fan commented on X (formerly Twitter).
However, some netizens felt he could have used the money for investment or charity rather than a flashy gift. Others questioned whether the move was a calculated publicity stunt ahead of a new project or brand deal.
Ruth K has not responded to Mulamwah’s remarks, maintaining silence on the issue.
Mulamwah and Ruth K broke up earlier this year after months of speculation about their rocky relationship. With the Benz parked in his compound and his head held high, Mulamwah seems focused on the future — with no wedding ring, but a new ride that’s already turning heads.
