South Sudanese female artist Juna De Star has once again proven she’s not afraid to speak her mind. In a recent Facebook post, she sparked conversation across the entertainment industry with a message directed at artistes’ managers.

Her post reads:

“Congratulations to all the artistes managers who managed to professionally do business with their artistes without eating them trust me the industry appreciates your type. Now lets also send a big congratulations to those who managed to successfully eat their clients k.lled their careers bu.ry and seal it 7feet under y'all too served your purposes.”

The post has been interpreted as both a commendation and a critique. On one hand, Juna praises managers who remain professional, transparent, and supportive helping their artistes grow and shine. On the other hand, she openly calls out those who exploit, mismanage, or derail their artistes’ careers, leading to wasted talent and broken dreams.

This bold statement has triggered discussions within the South Sudanese music community. Many artistes and fans agree that artist–manager relationships are the backbone of the industry, and when handled unprofessionally, the impact can be devastating. Others applaud Juna for using her platform to address issues often ignored behind closed doors.

Juna De Star’s message serves as a reminder that the South Sudanese entertainment industry is still young and fragile, requiring honesty, trust, and professionalism from all stakeholders. Her words may be controversial, but they reflect the reality that many artistes face.

Whether seen as tough love or harsh truth, Juna’s post challenges both artistes and managers to reflect on their roles in building or destroying the future of South Sudanese music.
