South Sudanese female artist Juna De Star has boldly voiced her thoughts about the state of music blogging and media coverage in the country — shedding light on an issue many artists silently endure.

In her recent statement, Juna De Star said:

 “We have blogging sites in the country who only feast on artistes’ negative wings, but hardly give credit wherever due in times of tremendous artiste effort. It’s just a habit buried deep in them. I’m not here to complain though, ’cause we have continued to achieve a lot without their effort — so it’s either they win with us or watch us win.”

These powerful words highlight a growing concern among South Sudanese musicians — the lack of balanced media support. While blogs play an important role in promoting local talent, many have been accused of focusing mainly on controversy and negativity instead of celebrating artistic growth, creativity, and achievement.

Juna’s statement reminds us that positive recognition matters. Artists invest time, money, and emotion into their craft, and every milestone deserves acknowledgment. Constructive media coverage not only uplifts artists but also strengthens the entertainment industry as a whole.

Despite the challenges, Juna De Star’s message carries confidence and resilience. She makes it clear that true success doesn’t depend on biased platforms. Her message to fellow artists and fans is simple yet empowering — keep winning, whether they talk about you or not.

As the South Sudanese music scene continues to grow, perhaps it’s time for local bloggers and media houses to reflect on their role — to uplift, educate, and promote, not to tear down.

Juna De Star’s words serve as both a challenge and an inspiration — a reminder that success shines brightest when artists rise above negativity and continue to win on their own terms.
