“The Bobi Wine I knew then is still the same person I see now. He has always been ambitious, with dreams way bigger than anyone can imagine, and I’m glad that he is still pushing his dreams to reality.” She said.
She admires his unwavering focus and his ability to think beyond the ordinary. Bobi Wine’s determination to achieve greatness in his career and beyond has not gone unnoticed by numerous people and Juliana recognizes the power of his ambition.
Acknowledging Bobi Wine's ambition, Juliana Kanyomozi also deeply respects him, genuinely wishing for his success in both his career and personal endeavors.
In a media interview, Kanyomozi was asked if she remembers about collaborating with the singer-turned-politician.
"Those songs made us popular in the whole region, not only Uganda," she said. "But as you know, you grow old and pick interest in different things. He is in politics. I'm in music." Asked if there is a possibility of them ever working on another music project together, she said: "You know never know. But Bobi Wine is now very busy. I don't think he has time for that anymore. I don't think so."
Juliana Kanyomozi and Bobi Wine's first joint venture, "Tata W’abaana," served as a significant breakthrough in Kanyomozi's career, providing her with entry into the mainstream music industry.

Building on this momentum, their subsequent collaboration on "Maama Mbire" further solidified their status as prominent figures in Ugandan music, earning them widespread acclaim and admiration from fans.
