Ugandan musician Nince Henry, born Ninsiima Henry Sekyanzi, has raised concerns about the tendency of celebrities to overshare their personal lives on social media and with the public.
In a candid interview, the celebrated artist emphasized the importance of maintaining boundaries between one’s public persona and private life. Nince Henry, who has always kept certain aspects of his life out of the limelight, believes that public figures should exercise discretion about what they choose to reveal to the world.
“Just because you're a public figure doesn't mean every single aspect of your life needs to be shared,” he explained. “You have the power to control what you reveal, and you should use that power wisely.”
Nince Henry pointed out that for him, the most important part of his public life is his music career. “When I have a new project, I will share that with my fans and the media, but everything else, like family matters, stays private.”
The singer also shared his personal approach to media interactions, stating that his relationship with the press is strictly professional. He firmly believes that, while celebrities’ lives are of public interest, it’s essential to protect one’s personal space for the sake of mental and emotional well-being.
His comments come after a period of personal loss, as the musician chose not to publicly announce the death of his father, opting instead to keep the matter private. Nince Henry’s stance serves as a reminder that privacy is an essential part of self-care, even for public figures.
