But while the artists at the center of the storm trade barbs online, Spice Diana is taking a different approach—one of wisdom, professionalism, and calm clarity.
???? “I’ve Faced It Too—But I Handled It Quietly,” Says Spice
In a recent interview, Spice Diana revealed that she has also been a victim of song theft—but chose not to air it out in public. Instead, she learned a valuable lesson the hard way: always keep receipts.
“I have faced it before, but I kept it to myself,” she admitted. “Everyone is looking for survival, but professionalism is what matters.”
She stressed that many up-and-coming songwriters don’t understand the value of intellectual property and the financial and emotional investment artists make into their work. As a result, they may be tempted to double-deal songs to more than one artist, a trend that’s becoming disturbingly common.
???? Her Golden Rule: Document Everything!
Spice Diana emphasized that her trust now lies in a small circle of trusted professionals—seasoned songwriters like King Saha and Nince Henry, whom she praises for understanding the true value of music.
“I only work with writers I’m sure of. Someone who is professional cannot do that to you because they value art.”
And when she does work with writers or producers, she makes it a point to document every detail of their transaction—receipts, agreements, and proof of payment.
“Document your transactions when you work with writers and have the proof of purchase—proof of who holds the rights and credits to the song.”
This kind of due diligence, she says, is the only way to protect your craft and prevent public feuds like the one currently exploding between Sheebah and Ava Peace.
❌ “Beef Can’t Solve This,” Spice Warns
Spice Diana also cautioned against letting things spiral into unnecessary public drama, which only damages reputations and derails progress. Instead of airing dirty laundry on social media, she encourages artists to resolve disputes professionally.
“Beef cannot help; it doesn’t solve anything. We just have to love our job and protect it.”
In her view, the music industry needs less noise and more professionalism—a code of ethics that prioritizes respect, accountability, and the value of art over clout-chasing and online fights.
???? Fans React: “She’s the Voice of Reason!”
Spice Diana’s comments have struck a chord with fans and music professionals alike. Many have applauded her for bringing maturity and logic to a space that’s been flooded with drama and finger-pointing.
One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“Spice Diana just said what needed to be said. Keep receipts or get burned.”
Another added:
“She’s the only one speaking sense in this whole mess. Respect to the queen.”
Others hope this situation becomes a wake-up call for both artists and songwriters to adopt better business practices and stop treating intellectual property like casual street deals.
???? Final Take: Will the Industry Learn from This?
As Uganda’s music scene continues to evolve and expand globally, the importance of professionalism and structure becomes more critical than ever.
Spice Diana’s message is clear:
If artists want to protect their careers, they must treat their work like a business—not just a hustle.
“We just have to love our job. Be professional,” she repeated. “That’s how we move forward.”
???? What’s Next?
With Sheebah, Ava Peace, and Jowy Landa still trending, fans are watching closely to see whether they’ll heed Spice Diana’s advice—or continue down a road of fiery diss tracks and Instagram Live rants.
Whatever happens next, one thing is certain: Uganda’s music industry is at a turning point, and Spice Diana is leading the call for a new era of professionalism.
