"Stop asking women when they are giving birth,” she said in an interview 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.”
Nampijja is not the first celebrity to say that; in 2022, Sheebah Karungi told people to get out of her ovaries after incessant questions about when she is having kids.
Karungi has said she doesn’t plan on getting married but she wants her freedom.
