Spice Diana has declared that she does not beg fellow musicians for collaborations, insisting that her reputation and influence in the East African music industry make her a desirable partner for artists seeking to work with Ugandan talent.
Speaking to Galaxy TV, the Ugandan singer revealed that she has several unreleased collaborations, including one with Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz.
Despite having projects with established regional musicians, Spice Diana maintained that she does not chase artists for joint releases because she believes working with her offers value to both parties.
“I don’t beg for them, they just give me because working with me benefits both of us. Therefore, there’s no artist in East Africa who wouldn’t want to work with me,” she said.
The singer also explained that her name frequently comes up when international musicians visit Uganda and consider which local artists they could collaborate with.
According to Spice Diana, her established position in the Ugandan music industry makes her an attractive option for foreign entertainers looking to connect with the country’s audience.
Her revelation about an unreleased collaboration with Diamond Platnumz is particularly notable, given the Tanzanian star’s influence across the African music scene. However, she did not reveal the song’s title, release date or further details about the project.
Spice Diana Questions Earnings of Ugandan Musicians
Beyond music collaborations, Spice Diana also addressed the financial gap between Ugandan musicians and international entertainers.
She questioned whether local musicians could realistically afford expensive luxuries such as private jets, arguing that their earnings from performances are considerably lower than what international artists receive when they perform in Uganda.
The singer used the comparison to highlight the different financial levels within the entertainment industry, suggesting that local performers do not necessarily earn at the same scale as their foreign counterparts.
“Fingers aren’t of the same size, therefore we can’t all be on the same level,” she remarked.
Her comments point to a wider conversation about performance fees, earning opportunities and the financial realities facing artists in Uganda compared with established international acts.
While Spice Diana did not provide specific booking figures, her remarks underline the economic differences she believes exist between local and international musicians.
For now, the singer says collaborations remain part of her musical plans, but she is confident that her industry standing means she does not have to beg for opportunities.
