“SPICE DIANA’s PAIN! We didn’t perform Body with Spice Diana last night! But thank you all for coming guys! We rehearsed well. We were given time to go with the show to 1:00am. At 11:45pm, police and military raided to stop the show!
“The last and the most prepared part of the show was [five] songs including Regular! It was all tension backstage and we pleaded with the DPC to allow Diana to perform at least REGULAR because it was the most anticipated piece! DPC refused. Police officers went up on stage! Diana saw them.
“And some people have just called me Proud for not performing. But it’s not pride I was there and we were well prepared including other collaborators but time guys. Time yaganye! Continue supporting Spice Diana and Ugandan music! Bigup to the team and manager roger for putting together all this. Man of the night is Bushington and Myco Ouma. See you on the next one!!”
Diana invested heavily in staging a successful concert and people were stunned by the stage infrastructure.
As per law enforcement guidelines, concerts are supposed to end at midnight.
