Spice Diana: My birthday trips are not sponsored; I can afford the good life!

Singer Spice Diana, real name Namukwaya Hajara Diana, is not waiting for a secret admirer to buy her a plane ticket. The singer says she has been footing the bill for her birthday escapades abroad for years. Thank you very much!

The singer, who celebrated her birthday on October 23, jetted off to France for a well-deserved getaway. However, her trip sparked whispers that she had travelled with a mystery man who was financing her holiday.

But Spice Diana was having none of that narrative.

Speaking in a recent television interview, she revealed that flying abroad for her birthday has been an annual tradition for the past six to seven years, adding that her hard work in the music industry has earned her the privilege of treating herself.

“For the last five or six years, I have been flying out for my birthdays to rest and also celebrate. I sponsored myself. I’m not that broke; I have made enough money to treat myself,” she said.

In other words, the only person responsible for booking her birthday flights is Spice Diana herself. No mystery sponsor, no secret benefactor, just a singer enjoying the fruits of her labour.

However, while she was quick to clear the air about who pays for her holidays, she was less forthcoming about who might be warming her heart.

Asked about her love life, Spice Diana hinted that she was in a relationship but made it clear that her partner's identity would remain under wraps.

She argued that being a public figure does not mean turning every aspect of one's private life into public entertainment. Fans may know her for her music, she said, but that does not entitle them to a front-row seat in her romantic affairs.

“Being a public figure doesn’t mean you have to put out everything about you out there. Sometimes it is not the right time. Secondly, people know you for the music and not any other thing,” she said.
