Anne Kansiime Reportedly Dating M-KOPA Tech Tycoon Ahead of Comedy Special

Celebrated Ugandan comedian Anne Kansiime is reportedly off the market, with sources revealing she has been in a relationship with Chad Gilbert Larson, the founder of M-KOPA.

he tech entrepreneur, who has lived in Nairobi since 2010, is said to have long admired Kansiime’s comedy career, especially from her early days on Citizen TV.

M-KOPA, headquartered in Kenya, is widely known for its innovative “buy now, pay later” model that enables customers across Africa to access smartphones and other digital services. The company reportedly generated over half a billion dollars in revenue last year, cementing its position as one of the continent’s leading fintech firms.

The development has sparked buzz online, with fans joking that spotting Kansiime with an M-KOPA phone shouldn’t be mistaken for tough times—but rather a sign she has “fallen in things.”

In recent interviews, Kansiime hinted at being in a fulfilling relationship, revealing that she has “never felt this taken care of,” further fueling speculation about her mystery partner.

The news comes just days before her highly anticipated first stand-up special, scheduled for April 12, 2026, at the Uganda National Theatre. The show is expected to draw massive crowds as the comedian marks a major milestone in her career.

While neither Kansiime nor Larson has publicly confirmed the relationship, the reports have already set social media abuzz, adding even more excitement around the comedian’s upcoming performance.
