The singer publicly admitted that he does not hold the registration logbook for the Toyota Fortuner he received as a gift from the late tycoon, raising questions about whether he truly owns the vehicle.
Sugar Sugar claimed he received requests to hand the car back, though the supplier has since stated that no official demand has been issued while the estate works through its outstanding obligations.
Sugar Sugar is not alone in this predicament; around 15 vehicles from Chivayo's high-profile gifting spree were never fully paid for, leaving multiple recipients uncertain about their status as the estate is wound down.

5. Inside President Ruto's Sugoi farm
President William Ruto's agricultural enterprise in Sugoi, Uasin Gishu County, is considerably larger than many might imagine.

Beyond poultry, the property also runs dairy operations, grows maize on a large scale, maintains fruit orchards, and keeps bees.
