Tanzanian musician Omary Nyembo alias Ommy Dimpoz has distanced himself from his biological father.
Ommy Dimpoz acknowledged the fact that the man is his father but vehemently refused to be connected to him.
Addressing the issue via a live video, Ommy disclosed his relationship with his father was strained when he walked out on them when he was still young.
According to Ommy Dimpoz, he only knows his late mother and acknowledges her as his only parent.
The musician insisted that the only person who raised him was his mother since his father ditched them to evade responsibilities.
Ommy went on to lay it bare that the dad only came back and is trying to get into his life because of his success.
He noted that he would only share his wealth with the people who were there for him when he was young but not his father.
“I admit he is my father. But he left us when we were kids and even after my mother’s death, he was nowhere to be seen. I will not allow him to just walk back into my life like nothing happened. He is insisting he is my father, it is okay, but he cannot force me to accept him,” Ommy said.
Ommy Dimpoz also used the opportunity to bash a Tanzanian radio station, Clouds FM for using his old father to promote, rather attract attention to their activation in Sumbawanga.
“Clouds FM did not do the right thing, I know they wanted to promote their event but using an old man is not right,” He added.

His statement, however, did not sit down well with some of his fellow celebrities and other netizens.
Most came out guns blazing, urging him to forgive his old man and help him whenever he can.
To drive their point home, they noted Ommy Dimpoz should accept his father because the fact will remain that he is his dad.
Ommy Dimpoz dad lives in Sumbawanga where he works as a tuktuk driver.
In a media interview, Ommy Dimpoz’s father admitted he usually talks to his son and even received some help from him occasionally.
