• Jowy Landa calls Susan Makula’s message to young women “poison.”
• She says she plans to have a child within two years.
• Jowy dismisses witchcraft claims and questions trust among musicians.

Ugandan musician Jowy Landa has criticized Pastor Aloysius Bugingo’s wife, Susan Makula Bugingo, over her recent remarks about women dating financially struggling men.

Susan sparked debate during Bad Black’s Beauty Beyond the Scars event after advising women not to cry over, a man who is still living in a rental. Her comments drew criticism from people who felt the message could discourage young women from building relationships with men who are still working toward financial stability.

Jowy Landa has now joined the conversation, saying she does not fear speaking honestly about issues affecting young women.

According to Jowy, the advice being given could negatively influence young women, especially at a time when many young men are struggling financially.

“What she is giving young women is poison.”

Jowy said she personally would not have a problem dating a financially struggling man because she is working on her own financial goals and would be in a position to support her partner.

She also revealed that she plans to have a child in the next two years and has already informed her management about her intentions.

The singer pointed to fellow musician Sheebah Karungi as an example of an artiste who took time away from music after giving birth and returned to continue her career.

“Sheebah had a child, took a break and came back. She is still ruling the music industry.”

Jowy also dismissed claims that witchcraft is responsible for some musicians’ struggles, saying some artistes blame being bewitched instead of examining their own actions and work ethic.

On relationships within the music industry, she said artistes generally do not trust each other enough to share personal problems, adding that she would rather keep her struggles to herself than seek help from fellow musicians.
