Spice Diana admits she initially hated Siri Regular before it became a hit

Wait 5 sec.

Spice Diana has revealed that she never believed Siri Regular would become one of the biggest songs in her music career, admitting that she initially disliked the track and even resisted recording it.Speaking during an interview on Shalom 256, the singer recalled how her former manager, Manager Roger, was convinced the song would be a hit despite her lack of confidence in it. Spice said she would often ask the production team to skip the song whenever it came up because she simply did not connect with it.I would tell them to press next and remove it. I had even refused to do it in the studio. I’d feel sick whenever I wanted to record it. So we added it on the EP and I didn’t even like any of the songs there, but for Siri Regular I felt it was too local. We eventually just released the EP.The singer also disclosed that when it came time to shoot music videos for the EP, she was determined to start with Doctor, a song written by Mr. Lee that she personally loved. According to Spice Diana, she and her team invested about Shs 30 million into the Doctor project and even flew in Kenyan comedian Eric Omondi to feature in the video.Spice Diana: I found peace and hope after a tough 2025However, Manager Roger remained convinced that Siri Regular deserved the first video, an idea Spice strongly opposed. She believed the song would not perform well and instead focused her efforts on promoting Doctor through marketing campaigns and social media challenges.Despite those efforts, Doctor failed to match expectations, with Spice noting that it had not even reached 500,000 views on YouTube. Meanwhile, Siri Regular, which had initially been overlooked, gradually gained momentum about six months after its release, becoming a viral hit.The unexpected success prompted the team to finally produce a music video for the song, cementing it as one of Spice Diana’s most successful releases. @shalom_kaweesi Premiering today 8:00pm on Shalom 256#foryoupage❤️❤️ #foryoupage #fyp #trendingvideo #foryou ♬ original sound – Shalom Kaweesi The post Spice Diana admits she initially hated Siri Regular before it became a hit appeared first on MBU.
