I no longer stress over things I can’t control – Lydia Jazmine

What the report says

Ugandan singer Lydia Jazmine told reporters that she has reached a calmer stage in her life, saying she now tries not to let situations she cannot control affect her. Speaking at a press conference ahead of her The One & Only concert, she said her focus is on gratitude, personal growth and taking each day as it comes. The concert is scheduled for September 4 at Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala, and she said the venue change from her earlier Hotel Africana show reflects the larger audience she expects this time.

Jazmine also responded to criticism that she uses publicity stunts to stay in the public eye. She said the wedding-themed visuals linked to her song Ameenallah were part of a planned marketing approach rather than a gimmick. Her comments framed the project as a promotional strategy aimed at supporting the song’s release.

Beyond music, Jazmine spoke about family and motherhood, saying she still hopes to have children and would like twins, if possible, along with one more child. She said she accepts that life may not unfold exactly as planned, and that the future is now in God’s hands. She also referenced recent discussion around singer Irene Ntale’s fibroid surgery, using it to note that having children can become more complicated with age, though it remains possible. More broadly, her remarks suggest she is entering a major concert period while also reflecting on personal goals and long-term plans.
