"Stop asking people about kids, some people are barren. Some have problems and they aren't intentionally refusing to get pregnant," said Ntaate when a newsman asked her about her love life and marriage.

According to the Brag about God hitmaker, some of these questions are intrusive and they stir heartwrenching emotions.

Gabriella 'Gabie' Ntaate, who previously presented a gossip show on TV, is not the first celebrity to talk about such sensitive questions.

"Stop asking women when they are giving birth,” Florence Nampijja said last year when she was asked about her marriage plans.

According to her, those are sensitive questions that shouldn’t be asked by strangers because you never know what’s stopping someone from getting married or having kids.

It could be out of their control, she said.

“Some people have failed to get pregnant, and you come asking such insulting questions... do you know the harm you are doing?... secondly, someone is not ready. If you rushed, well and good, but don't make it look like it's a crime for those who haven't.”

 In 2022, Sheebah Karungi told people to get out of her ovaries after incessant questions about when she was having kids.

Said Sheebah: "Get out of my ovaries. That's it. Get out of my ovaries. Leave them, they'll function when I decide. Get out of it. Stop putting women under pressure to have children, why? You don't know their struggles, and you will pressurise her, yet they've been trying for over 40 years, you don't know what you are doing to her. Always leave that topic, so a woman can decide when to give birth. It's a very sensitive topic."

Gabie Ntaate will host a concert on May 17 at the Sheraton Hotel Kampala.
