Kampala, Uganda – Former GoodLyfe singer Diamond Oscar has made headlines with his bold declarations upon returning to Uganda from the diaspora. In a recent media interview, he expressed his confidence and flair, stating, “Do not compare me to Big Eye; I am like Asake, Wizkid, and Burna Boy.” This statement underscores his desire to be recognized alongside international music icons rather than being associated with local competitors.
Diamond Oscar’s return is marked by a commitment to flaunt his success and remind everyone of his legendary status in Uganda’s music scene. He urged bar and club owners to prepare for his arrival, saying, “Stock your refrigerators, keep the drinks cold because the big boy is here.” His remarks reflect a self-assured attitude as he aims to re-establish himself in the competitive music industry.
When asked about comparisons to Big Eye, Diamond Oscar dismissed them as “belittling” and “insulting,” reinforcing his belief that he deserves recognition for his contributions to music. He proudly cited his past hits like “Take It Easy,” “Terminator,” and “Amina,” claiming that even children grew up listening to his songs.
In addition to boasting about his financial success and tattoos worth over two hundred million Ugandan shillings, Diamond Oscar indicated that he believes his star power is too significant for smaller venues. He stated, “Ask the people of Kawala if they could ever see me perform there,” emphasizing his aspirations for larger platforms.
