Hemedee creates reality show for E!

Hemdee Kiwanuka came into the lime light, plainly as Halima Namakula’s son. As you may know, this didn’t get him any notice. When he tried his music luck along side the mother, we literally called him a wanabe.

Years went on and Hemdee didn’t churn out any hit but only appeared in a couple of videos throwing one lines of his name, eyo, Hemdee…… we taking over’ …. Yes DJ Khaled and Diddy style.

He turned to concert promotions by bringing American artistes into Africa, his efforts were appreciated back home but didn’t get him any standing ovations, especially with the poorly attended KC and Jojo show and the would be Boys 2 Men concert.

However, the observer can confirm that Hemdee’s world travels have finally paid off. It all started when Hemdee met US based Jamaican RnB artist, Sean Kingston’s mother in 2011. This was at the time he was prompting Sean’s Kampala concert.

They agreed to create a reality show about Sean Kingston and that’s how the show Fame in the family was conceptualized.

Fame in the family takes a look at the integral role family relationships play in the lives of both Sean and Romeo. It’s widely been viewed as an effort to bring back the two music stars that were fast fading from the international scene.

The show is set to premier on American TV network E! in July this year.

It will be screened before Kourtney & Kim take New York, one of the Kardishian TV productions.

The pilot and teaser episode was on screened on E! on Sunday 17^th, and is also available on different youtube channels.

 Hemdee joins the big league of different reality TV creators like Ryan Seacrest and Simon fuller.

The overjoyed Hemdee has since changed the information on his twitter handle to accommodate titles like creator and co-executive producer, Fame in the family.

This makes Hemdee, the first African to create reality show for a major network.

Its intimated, that as a creator and co-executive produce, Hemdee will pocket atleast $40,000 (about 100 ush million) per episode. Now, this is what I call a high budget celebrity, by far.
