Pia Pounds, the talented artist behind the hit single ‘Tupaate,’ is confronting the mounting expectations from her fans who eagerly await another chart-topping sensation. ‘Tupaate,’ released on September 25, 2020, not only enjoyed over a year of dominance on playlists but also catapulted Pia Pounds, born Tracy Kirabo, into the spotlight after years of struggle. However, the newfound success comes with its own set of challenges.
Despite her initial breakthrough, Pia Pounds has encountered difficulties in replicating the same level of success with subsequent releases. The artist, aged 27, disclosed during an interview with Sanyuka TV that she is currently immersed in a continual journey of self-discovery and remains confident that another major hit will materialize.
Acknowledging the pressure and expectations, Pia Pounds emphasized that she is committed to her craft, investing time and effort to achieve her artistic goals. She appealed to her fans for understanding, stating, “I am an artist who is still discovering herself. Sometimes you make a song so big that it scares you on what to do next, but you just have to keep working hard and investing in your craft. It’s a matter of time before you make another banger.”
In the face of escalating competition within the music industry, Pia Pounds remains undeterred, asserting that competition has been a constant since the inception of her musical journey. While acknowledging her intentional retreat from the media, she clarified that it is a strategic move aimed at safeguarding her brand and concentrating on creating high-quality music. “No, I’m not absent (from the scene). It’s true I pulled out a bit; I try to stay away from the media, but I have good music,” she affirmed.
Furthermore, Pia Pounds addressed persistent rumors suggesting that her music career has lost direction due to alleged alcoholism. Dismissing these claims as unfounded, she asserted, “First of all, I don’t even drink alcohol. Those are pure lies, and people spreading such rumors should find something else to do.” Pia Pounds sought to debunk any connection between her personal life and the trajectory of her music career, setting the record straight about her dedication to her craft and her intentional media approach.
