Ugandan singer Lydia Jazmine says she has reached a stage in life where she no longer allows circumstances beyond her control to weigh her down, choosing instead to focus on gratitude, personal growth, and the future she continues to envision for herself.
Speaking during a press conference ahead of her The One & Only concert slated for September 4 at Lugogo Cricket Oval, the singer reflected on her outlook on life, saying she has learned to take each day as it comes rather than worrying about things she cannot change.
“I no longer stress myself with the world. I just take every day as it comes,” Jazmine said, adding that life’s challenges should never stop people from being kind or extending a helping hand to others.
The singer also addressed claims that she relies on publicity stunts to remain relevant, dismissing the suggestion while explaining that the widely discussed wedding-themed photos linked to her song Ameenallah were simply part of a carefully planned marketing campaign.
“Ameenallah was a marketing strategy for the song; it was not a stunt,” she said.
Jazmine revealed that her decision to stage this year’s concert at the larger Lugogo Cricket Oval was influenced by the overwhelming turnout at her previous concert at Hotel Africana, which she believes could no longer accommodate the growing number of her supporters.
Away from music, the singer also opened up about her personal dreams, particularly motherhood. She said she still hopes to become a mother and, if God permits, would love to have twins and possibly one more child, bringing the total to three.
Although she admitted she once dreamed of having a bigger family, Jazmine said she now feels time is no longer on her side and is content with whatever blessings come her way.
She also weighed in on fellow singer Irene Ntale’s recent revelation that she underwent surgery to remove fibroids. Jazmine acknowledged that childbirth can become more complicated as women grow older but stressed that having children remains possible, pointing to singer Sheebah Karungi as an example.
For Jazmine, the future—both professionally and personally—is now firmly in God’s hands as she prepares for one of the biggest concerts of her career while remaining hopeful about starting a family.
