Ghost revealed his fondness for spending leisure time at the zoo, finding solace among animals. He expressed admiration for how animals relate to each other, highlighting their simplicity and lack of jealousy compared to humans.

The peaceful environment of the wildlife sanctuary serves as Ghost's preferred spot for relaxation.

“I like going to the national park during my leaisure time. Unajua hao wanyama wakati mwingi wanatulia, hawana stori mingi, hawana wivu. Wewe unawaona, Simba akiua mnyama mmoja, ni mmoja. Hataki kuua ndovu, mara aue Kifaru. Sisi binadamu hutaka kuposess kila kitu. Kwa hiyo, wildife huwa ndiyo maskani yangu ya kurelax,” he said.

Known for his early morning radio show, Ghost admitted to being a morning person by nature. Even on days off, he finds himself waking up early out of habit.
