Douglas Lwanga Believes Tenge Tenge Can Still Become Rich Before Turning 18
Media personality Douglas Lwanga has shared his thoughts on the ongoing dispute involving child content creator Tenge Tenge, saying the controversy highlights the importance of professional management and proper planning.
The remarks come amid a public fallout between Tenge Tenge’s family and former manager Michael Kabonge over the ownership of the youngster’s social media accounts and revenue generated from his online success.
Taking to X, Lwanga argued that while Tenge Tenge’s talent helped him build a massive global audience, the people around him may not have fully maximized the opportunities that came with his success.
He pointed to the large amount of Tenge Tenge content that exists outside the youngster’s official YouTube channel, saying other creators benefited from his popularity while the child star gained little in return.
Other creators used him, gained millions of views, and he got peanuts.
Lwanga also questioned the content strategy behind Tenge Tenge’s official platforms, noting that the YouTube channel lacks consistent original content despite attracting millions of followers.
In his view, the current management team needs additional guidance on how to better monetize the youngster’s talent and growing online audience.
Rather than demanding a change in management, Lwanga recommended bringing a strategist on board to guide the brand and establish a clearer long term plan.
He also urged Tenge Tenge’s father to learn more about YouTube monetization and the business side of content creation rather than focusing solely on monthly earnings.
The media personality believes everyone involved stands to benefit if they work together and resolve their differences.
They all win if they are in harmony. Tenge loses more if the brand is disrupted.
Despite the ongoing dispute, Lwanga remains optimistic about Tenge Tenge’s future and believes his popularity can still translate into significant financial success.
Tenge should be rich before he turns 18 years. It is possible.
The dispute has since sparked wider debate about the management of child content creators and the financial rewards behind viral fame.
Its easy to be talented and broke at same time. Teng Teng story twist shows us why all talented people need proffesional management at some point in their careers to help steer them. His current manager needs more help & guidance on how to monetise this talent abit more.
Teng…
