Veteran singer Abdul Mulaasi has claimed that marriage affected the musical dominance of Rema Namakula.
Rema married gynecologist Hamza Ssebunya in 2019 following her widely publicized breakup with Eddy Kenzo. However, according to Mulaasi, the singer’s career momentum has not been the same since she got married.
Speaking during a podcast, Mulaasi argued that Rema’s visibility in the entertainment industry has reduced compared to the period before her marriage.
Measure the hype Rema had before marriage and now. There’s a big difference. She used to be on banners like five times a week, but now you can look for her on a banner for a whole month and barely see her.
He further suggested that the singer is now mainly booked for special occasions such as major celebrations and weddings, unlike before when she was regularly appearing on concert lineups and promotional banners.
Mulaasi also claimed that balancing marriage and a demanding music career can be challenging for many female artists.
That’s how the career goes down. You can’t mix marriage and music. That’s why when you ask some female musicians when they will get married or have children, they say they are not ready because they still want to focus on singing and can’t maintain both.
The post Marriage took a toll on Rema’s music career, says Abdul Mulaasi appeared first on MBU.
