The Gold Digger hitmaker assured him that she never saw his age as a problem because he was in good in bed.

"It doesn't matter... you know age is not a number when it comes to love... he was doing the work; that was the main thing," she said.

Chandiru and Vilet, a wealthy businessman, got married in 2015 but he initiated divorce in 2017 after she got addicted to drugs.

In the interview with Kazoora, she said that since they were a couple, it started affecting his reputation in the business community every time they checked him up on Google.

"He divorced me because my reputation at that time because of the drugs was affecting his business," she said.

He started struggling to acquire things like loans.

"It was affecting his business and he was a very successful person," she said, noting that they still talk.

Born to Felix Eyaa and Josephine Ayaa on September 13, 1984, at Nsambya Hospital, Jackie Chandiru went to Lugogo Nursery School and Nakasero Primary School before joining Nabisunsa Girls Secondary School in O-Level.

She left for Vienna College Namugongo in A-Level, after which she joined Makerere University to study Industrial Fine Art.

Jackie was singing as young as early as five years of age, though she started performing on stage when she joined A-Level. She was both a singer and a dancer.

At Nabisunsa, she was the president of the drama club.

Professional music started when she participated in the TV show Coca-Cola Popstars, which led to the formation of Blu*3 in 2004. Steve Jean, whom she always admired, would become the manager of the group that comprised her, Lilian Mbabazi and Cindy.

In 2004 they recorded their first album dubbed 'Hitaji', which had hit singles like 'Hitaji', 'Frisky' and 'Tomalaako'.

Cindy was fired from the group in 2008 while on a trip to Spain, and Mbabazi and Chandiru replaced her with Mya Baganda.
