Lilian Mbabazi Opens Up About the Mental Strain of Fame and Her Battle with Depression

Around the world, many exceptionally talented musicians have succumbed to untimely deaths, often linked to the overwhelming pressures that come with fame.

Iconic figures such as Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, and Whitney Houston are just a few examples of artistes whose struggles with industry-related pressures are believed to have contributed to their tragic demise.

In a recent interview, Ugandan singer Lilian Mbabazi opened up about such pressures and how they can deeply affect an artiste’s mental health.

The Blu*3 member acknowledged that these challenges are common among most musicians.

She shared that at one point in her career, she lost her passion for singing and even experienced mild depression.

During this tough time, she began to doubt herself, wondering if her music, and even her own worth, had any value.

Lilian explained that the intense pressure from others, combined with constant public scrutiny and media commentary, whether true or false, can have a major impact on an artiste’s mental well-being.

To cope with these struggles, Lilian said she learned to stop paying attention to people’s opinions and comments, especially on social media.

She emphasized the importance of protecting her energy and accepting that, in the entertainment world, not everyone will be supportive or kind.
