Amid the chaos, Bad Rama and his brother were separated from their family. Miraculously, they survived but the two brothers were lost to oblivion. “For years, I and my family believed that our brother had died but it wasn't until our father's passing that a series of events set in motion our remarkable reunion. Although people had often remarked on the striking resemblance between my brother and I he never paid much attention to it. “When I shared the news of my father's passing on social media, it triggered a wave of memories for my brother. God who made me a famous figure knew that it would be the only way of reuniting with my brother. Upon seeing the post, he was able to recall our father’s name and that is when Uwimana looked for singer Rafiki Coga and told him the whole story. That is how I met him,” shared Bad Rama. Bad Rama accredited the reunion to God saying that what God cannot do, does not exist. The music entrepreneur who now resides in the United States revealed that he cannot wait to come back to Rwanda, and asked his friends and family to help him thank God. “This is the best day of my life ever, we thought he passed away but a few days ago God made the impossible possible and my young brother is at home and a grown man. My mother and family are extremely happy,” he said. ALSO READ: Bad Rama returns to Kigali to 'put The Mane back to order Uwimana is a father of one and an executive chef.
