Ugandan songster Lydia ‘Jazmine’ Nabawanuka got candid about the unique challenges that come with being a female celebrity, especially when it comes to romantic relationships.
In a heartfelt interview, the “Kindekele” hitmaker revealed that while fame brings visibility and success, it also creates a wall between female celebrities and genuine love.
According to Jazmine, many men are simply too intimidated to approach women in the limelight.
“The funny part is, most men fear us,” she shared. “They fear approaching celebrities because they are unsure how we will react. They have so many insecurities, and the men who have loved us fear the limelight.”
Jazmine pointed out that this fear leads to a sad pattern: women like her often end up with the wrong partners.
The men with pure intentions tend to hold back, worried they aren’t “on the same level” or that a celebrity partner would be too high-maintenance.
As a result, many female celebrities find themselves settling, not for love, but for comfort and safety.
“Sometimes you are stuck with someone you do not like because you feel safer around them than new people,” she said, highlighting a painful reality behind the glitz and glamour.
The singer also revealed that the longest she has ever gone without a man in her life was eight months, stressing how hard it is to trust anyone who approaches her.
One of the biggest fears, she explained, is exploitation.
In the digital age, female public figures are especially vulnerable to being secretly recorded and later blackmailed.
“We are also scared. When you approach me, I pose many questions myself. Sometimes I feel you are after me for some reason,” Jazmine confessed.
This fear has led many female celebrities to question every man’s motive, wondering if the affection is genuine or if there’s an agenda behind the attention.
Despite these challenges, Lydia Jazmine’s openness sheds light on a conversation that many shy away from: the emotional cost of fame, especially for women.
It’s a reminder that behind the music, lights, and fans are real people still searching for love, trust, and safety, just like everyone else.
