Spice Diana Advises Artists to Invest in Business, Not Big Houses

By Alex Don

Ugandan music star Spice Diana has advised fellow artists, especially the young and upcoming, to prioritize investing in income-generating businesses rather than rushing to build large residential houses at an early age

Drawing from her own experience, the singer revealed that she acquired her first property at just 19 years old and went on to build her first house at 20. A few years later, she constructed a bigger residential home along Salaama Road. While she remains proud of these achievements, Spice Diana admits that building a big home so early was not the smartest financial decision she had made.

Speaking in an interview with MBU, the artist explained that putting such money into business ventures would have yielded better returns. She noted that despite owning a six-bedroom house, she only occupies one bedroom, leaving the rest unused space she now sees as missed business potential.

Reflecting on her growth and lessons learned, Spice Diana encouraged artists to think long-term and focus on investments that can sustain them beyond music.

As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized that you shouldn’t rush to build a residential house. That money would be better invested in something that can generate income, she said.

Although she does not regret her choices, Spice Diana hopes her story will inspire young artists to make wiser financial decisions, invest strategically, and build lasting sources of income before focusing on luxury and comfort.
