"Am I in shape?" she playfully asked when Faridah Nakazibwe asked her on 'Mwasuze Mutya' how she's been able to keep in shape for 41 years.

"... I try... but I definitely eat healthy... I do treadmill... I exercise... drink a lot of water... peace of mind..."

Asked about her skin care routine, Kanyomozi – who operates on the "less is more" slogan, said: "I know it sounds weird... because I use anything and I don't have issues."

According to the 'Mundeke' singer, she usually hires professionals when she is doing makeup and dressing up for concerts and video shoots.

She, however, noted that she would also consider undergoing surgery to improve her looks if it became necessary.

Kanyomozi has revealed that the most expensive videos she has ever done are ‘Right Here' and ‘I’m' Still Here', which were directed by the South African music producer Justin Campos.

Campos, who owns Gorilla Films, has worked on music videos for household African artistes like Sarkodie, Phyno, Davido and Yemi Alade.

'Right Here' and 'I’m Still Here' have a combined 3.4 million plus views on YouTube.

Kanyomozi said they were shot in South Africa.

"It was the director... He was so big," she said, adding on why she chose him: "I had followed his work... those particular songs, I wanted them to appeal to a certain audience."

Added the AfroBeat singer: "He wasn't cheap but he did a good job."

She declined to reveal the amount she ponied up for the videos.

The 'Twalina Omukwano' can't point a finger at the exact cause of failure to find suitable intimate partners for long-term relationships.

"I can't say it's the generation we are in... I don't know," she said when Nakazibwe asked whether she's increasingly hearing how it's hard to find a partner through conversations with friends. "... it's one thing to find a partner that likes you... but finding reciprocated love is quite hard."

Kanyomozi believes love should not be chased, but people should "let it work itself out" because "if something is meant to be, it'll find you."

The mother of one also believes some people have blindly let social media create a misleading template for relationships.

"I also think social media has played a big part in ruining relationships," she said. "People want to adapt to social media trends [like those who say] a couple that slays together stays together... you see someone sharing certain pictures and you tell your boyfriend to do the same things," she observed.

Kanyomozi, who has over the years had her share of good and bad relationships, advised young women planning to get into relationships to make their own money because it accords them independence.

"Girls, don't wait for a man who will give you everything," she said. "If God does that for you, it's a blessing... but there is nothing better than a woman making her own money."

The songbird, who is set to hold her first concert in eight years, said her favorite songs are 'Kanyimbe' and ‘Nabikoowa'.
