Swangz Avenue singer Veronica Luggya alias Vinka was cyber bullied for a long time over her physical appearance. At the start of her career, a section of music fans referred to her as a man.
During a recent interview, she explained that she felt unwanted everytime she was called a man.
“It was so heart-breaking. I know artistes get criticised but my situation was so bad. I used to cry all the time. Calling me a man because of my deep voice was unfair,” she said.
With time, she developed a thick skin and got used to the trolls.
“I realised that it would actually work for me because it somehow created demand. People wanted to listen to my music and others wanted to see me perform. I started enjoying it,” she further explained.
Vinka has had a successful career so far. She is currently signed to Sony Entertainment and Swangz Avenue.
