Musician Irene Ntale has finally cleared the air about rumours that she has been using skin lightening creams to make her skin lighter.
During an interview on Capital FM, radio host Flavia Tumusiime asked the ‘Gyobera’ singer whether she bleached or not. Ntale gave a perfect explanation as to why she looks like she bleached, when in fact she did not.
“I didn’t bleach, my lifestyle just improved hence the change in my skin colour. You know when life is good and everything else has fallen in place, you ride in an air conditioned cars and the weather aint harsh on your skin anymore, your skin definitely improves.”She explained.
More excerps from the interview:
On her music Journey
I have really come from far. I have backed up for so many artists for example Leila Kayondo, Aziz Azion. Jamal, Maurice Kirya, Bobi Wine and others. I remember Swangz Avenue’s Benon found me performing at some bar and recognised my talent. He asked me to meet at the office and he signed me.
On Swangz Avenue, her management.
“I think its the only real music label in Uganda. They are not after the artists’ money. They aim at building a name and brand for you. They have really helped me alot.”
On music as a business:
“It’s just like any other business. There are good and bad seasons. But it really pays because for just a 30-minute performance, I can be paid someone else’s monthly salary.”
On her Concert which was cancelled last year
“We had some problems with sponsors. I won’t go into details but the good thing is that God has enabled tomorrow’s to be possible and I am glad.”
On tomorrow’s concert
“I am feeling alot right now. I am really excited, nervous, anxious and more.”
On her Sembera hit song
“It was written for me by Moze Radio. He must have been in love with someone because it’s an amazing love song. He’s really talented.”
On sharing a concert date with Patrick Salvador’s Africa Laughs comedy show.
“I think both events will be successful. Those who love comedy will go there and those who love my music will come for my concert.”
On whether she is dating Toniks or not.
“We are simply friends. I actually has a boyfriend, whom I won’t disclose at this point. He cares bambi,”
On why she sometimes has a bad attitude towards her fans.
“I am not a person who gets an attitude out of nowhere. if i do, there’s a reason. Sometimes i just be really stressed after a long day.”
With all that said, tomorrow is the D-day. Irene Ntale’s much anticipated concert, The “Sembera date night” is going down at Sheraton Gardens. Gates will be open at 6pm. Tickets are at Shs. 50k for Ordinary and Shs. 100k for VIP.
The Swangz Avenue star promised to give her fans the best experience. “There will be no
curtain raisers. It’s going to be just me and a few artists like Rema, Winnie Nwagi Bebe Cool and others who will come to join me on stage while I perform. I will start performing at exactly 8:30pm. Please come and be part of this.” Irene Ntale concluded.
