Gospel artist Ringtone expressed gratitude to NACADA director Chipukeezy following the official's offer to facilitate his rehabilitation, according to social media posts and reports from April 2019.
The singer shared a message on his social media platforms acknowledging Chipukeezy's role in encouraging him to seek treatment, quoting: 'THANKS chipukeezy of NACADA I FINALLY WENT TO rehab.'
This development followed a meeting between Ringtone and Chipukeezy at the latter's Karen residence, where the NACADA director reportedly discussed rehabilitation options with the artist. The conversation occurred prior to Ringtone's public acknowledgment of the intervention.

Chipukeezy made a joking remark about fellow artist Willy Paul during a separate discussion, referencing the singer's recent social media activity that criticized other musicians as 'devil worshipers.' Fans speculated about the nature of Ringtone's struggles but the artist did not elaborate on the issue.
