Spice Diana has no bond with her estranged father

While she says she forgave him, she admits feeling no connection with him.

Diana, whose reall names are Hajara Namukwaya was raised by her mother Beatrice Nantale, and her stepdad Mansur Ntatwa, who gave her the Muslim name Hajara.

Mansur also abandoned them later on, including his own children (Diana's step siblings)

Years later when she found her fame in music, the singer says, her biological father tried to get back into her life, but that the fatherly bond could not be rekindled.

At one point she says he came to her show.

She found her on stage and gave her money.

She was able to remember his face, having last seen him many years ago when she had gone to pick school fees for her little sister.

After the show, Diana says, the dad stayed around and asked to speak with her.

“I gave him time, we talked briefly and I gave him my number,” she told Bukedde TV in the Omuntu W’abantu program.

"Afterwards, he called me and we talked again but nothing came out of it.

No real connection

In her adult life, Diana says she has gone to see her dad twice. He also once came to her home to see her when she was hospitalized with an illness.

Spice Diana is one of the most philanthropic celebrities in the country, working with multiple charities that support mostly women and disabled children.

Asked during the interview why she has not found it in her heart to get back together with her dad, she said, it was partly because he has not come to her asking for help.

She also said she does not consider him her “earthly God” because if he was, he would not have abandoned her.
