Singer Maurice Kirya made himself the center of attention as he is being grilled by Lydia Jazmine fans online as has become Uganda’s unceasing social media punching bag following an appearance on a local radio station where he held an interview and revealed to the public that he does not know singer Lydia Jazmine.
Kirya claimed he knows the person called Lydia Jazmine, sees her photos on social media and thinks she is pretty, but does not know about her music at all. Jasmine's fans are not about to have that as they have decided to gang up against Kirya giving him a taste of his own medicine.

There are apparently two camps and they are divided between those thinking Kirya has every right not to know who Jazmine is because it is not by force that he should know her while the Jazmine camp thinks this is the worst kind of shade ever thrown at their pretty baby Jazmine, and they are not letting this slide that easy.
Due to Kirya’s Saturday morning tweets, Jazmine’s fans have put him in a bind that if he is to ever make a list of reckless statements he has made in his career, this might likely top the list.
As if asking for some sympathy, Kirya tweeted that he once asked for corporate sponsorship but he was told he had good music but had no public scabdal. This was meant to alert everyone that he did not actually mean what he said about Lydia but he was trying to create a scandal for his career to survive.
“I once asked for corporate sponsorship many years ago and the Ugandan company said they loved my music, but I didn’t have any scandals.” he tweeted.
He still however received the same negative feedback from the section of Jazmine fans who trashed his tweet. Realising it was not going to cut it, he followed it up shortly with another tweet to indicate he is having a taste of what being reckless for a second feels like.
“I also realise that because I’ve had a relatively clean image for 20 years, good public behaviour and professionalism, if I make one little blunder, it easily becomes such a big deal.”
As we speak however, Jazmine’s camp is not sleeping around as they are doing their "lisachi". The camp has also dug out some photos of him with the woman who he says he does not knkw, Lydia Jazmine
