Singer Gloria Bugie has revealed that collaborations with Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz and Rwandan singer The Ben are in the pipeline, promising fans that the results of her recent efforts will soon become evident.
Bugie made the revelation during a TikTok Live on Monday night, days after facing backlash from Ugandans who accused her of embarrassing the country after she pleaded for a photo opportunity with Diamond Platnumz during a press conference.
Defending her actions, Bugie said she knows what it takes to achieve her ambitions and believes she is making the most of the opportunities presented to her.
“Wait for my collaboration with Diamond very soon, don’t argue with me. And for The Ben, also wait for it,” she said.
The singer also criticized Ugandans for what she described as their failure to understand how artists should utilize opportunities to advance their careers, insisting that she was simply doing what was necessary to achieve her goals.
“You say I embarrassed you, you and who? Stop giving yourselves importance,” she added.
Bugie maintained that artists must take advantage of platforms and opportunities whenever they arise, dismissing the criticism surrounding her interaction with Diamond Platnumz.
