Ugandan dancehall singer Anitah Tushabe alias Anita Da Diva has revealed that she has left behind drug use and is now living a quieter life as she considers returning to the music industry.
Anitah, who once stood out as one of the promising female voices in Uganda’s dancehall scene, disappeared from the spotlight several years ago. Her absence followed a turbulent period in her personal life that had drawn public attention online.
At the time, a video circulated on social media showing the singer in tears as she appealed for help, accusing a former boyfriend of influencing her drug use and exposing her to a violent relationship that she believed had derailed her life.
Speaking during a recent television interview, the singer said she is now in a better place and has abandoned the habits that once affected her life. Anitah admitted she had used drugs in the past but urged others to avoid them, explaining that quitting had greatly improved her health and wellbeing.
She said she currently avoids all intoxicants and instead prefers a much simpler lifestyle, joking that anyone who wants to take her out now only needs to buy her mineral water.
The singer also clarified that while she occasionally drank alcohol in the past, she did not consider herself an alcoholic. For now, Anitah said she is focused on rebuilding her life and gradually preparing for a possible return to active music.
Although there is nothing major happening yet in her career, she noted that she is working toward making a comeback when the time feels right.
