• She discusses her September 4 concert, plans for children and Irene Ntale’s fibroid surgery.

Ugandan singer Lydia Jazmine says she has reached a point where she no longer stresses herself over things she cannot control, choosing to live each day as it comes.

Jazmine clarified that embracing this mindset does not mean she has abandoned her dreams of becoming a bigger musician or making more money. She focuses on what is within her control and remains grateful for the journey.

“I no longer stress myself with the world. I just take every day as it comes,” Jazmine said, adding that life’s struggles should not stop people from being kind or helping others.

The singer also addressed claims that she uses publicity stunts, denying them. She explained that the wedding-style photos associated with her song Ameenallah were part of the song’s marketing strategy, not a stunt.

“Ameenallah was a marketing strategy for the song; it was not a stunt,” she said.

Jazmine also spoke about her upcoming concert, The One & Only, scheduled for September 4 at Lugogo Cricket Oval. She said the decision to choose the larger venue was influenced by her previous show at Hotel Africana, which she said was too small for her fans.

On family and motherhood, Jazmine said that, God willing, she hopes to have twins and possibly another child, making three. She said she would have loved a bigger family but feels she no longer has enough time for that.

She also weighed in on Irene Ntale’s fibroid surgery, saying that childbirth can come with more complications as women get older, but stressing that motherhood remains possible. She cited her friend Sheebah Karungi as an example and said she is now leaving her future in God’s hands.
