Lydia Nabawanuka, alias Lydia Jazmine, has said fans should stop badgering her fellow singer Eddy Kenzo, real name Edrisah Musuuza, about whether he is planning to marry her because they are denying him peace of mind.
“Why do they want me to marry Kenzo?… I also don’t know. What should I say?” she declared. “About Kenzo, leave him alone. There are a lot of questions… I’m always on my page seeing people asking a lot of questions, you’re ‘stealing’ his peace.”
Both singers have been repeatedly asked about their romance to the point that they have now started brushing it off with jokes.
During a recent media interview, Eddy Kenzo, who will be holding a festival on November 12 at Kololo Airstrip in Kampala, said their fans should hold a beauty contest pitting Jazmine and other pretty women so the Sitya Loss hitmaker can finally pick a wife.
“Bring people at the festival, to the stage so that we choose from that… We now became a family, isn’t it? Bring her [Jazmine] with the rest… and we choose… we are now one, [let’s select like we are picking] Miss Uganda…[laughs],” he said.
Romance rumours between Kenzo and Jazmine swirled mostly in 2019 towards the breakup of the former and his baby mama Rema Namakula. Some observers, who also saw Kenzo at events with Tupaate hitmaker Pia Pounds, thought they (Pounds and Jazmine) accelerated the split.
But the singers have on multiple occasions denied any intimate involvement.
Meanwhile, Lydia Jazmine, who was among the acts that warmed up the fans at David Lutalo’s concert held at Hotel Africana on Friday, commented on sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry.
“It happens a lot to upcoming artistes… It’s very bad. People doing it should stop. Personally, when you look at my collabos, they are about ‘vibe’. The person I work with is either my friend, or I’m his fan and I love what they sing or I have decided to work with them and help them, for instance, Dre [Dre Cali and Jazmine teamed up for Onanagiza],… I wasn’t paid, people like Omar [She worked with Prince Omar on Sing for Me]… they are many,” she said.
“So, musicians that are doing it, please, change, stop, because at some point you were also upcoming… it’s not good. Female singers, please don’t accept… You’ll get someone who’ll help you for who you are, for your talent, you also have to work hard. Don’t wait to be helped,” she went on.
