Dia Kostic Slams Dara Bubamara Over Much Younger Beau
Singer Dia Kostic tore into Dara Bubamara over her romance with a far younger partner, while revealing that veteran star Era Ojdanic once offered to buy her an apartment.
- On June 28, Dia Kostic used a TV appearance to attack Dara Bubamara over her relationship with a much younger partner.
- She claimed her colleague is "tarnishing her own name" and is, in her words, near retirement.
- She revealed that veteran singer Era Ojdanic courted her and offered to buy her a flat in Vrnjacka Banja.
- She also spoke openly about her own cosmetic procedures and plans for more.
Young singer Dia Kostic used a June 28 television appearance to deliver a blunt verdict on the love life of her colleague Dara Bubamara. The trigger was the turbo folk star’s romance with a far younger partner, and Dia did not mince words.
In her view, performers who have spent decades on stage should not enter such relationships. “She is tarnishing her own name,” Dia said, adding that Dara is, as she put it, already “near retirement.” She framed the broader trend of established female singers choosing much younger men as something that sends the public the wrong message.
Dia did not stop at criticism. In the same broadcast she opened up about a chapter from her own life that quickly became the story of the day.
What did Dia say about Era Ojdanic?
The singer revealed that she was once courted by Era Ojdanic, a veteran of Serbian folk music several decades her senior. She claims he was even ready for a grand gesture: by her account, he offered to buy her a flat in Vrnjacka Banja.
Dia said she turned the offer down. Although, in her telling, it all seemed serious, she chose to thank him and decline. She brought up the episode precisely to illustrate how much she herself had been in a position to choose, and why, she argues, she has the right to weigh in on the choices of others.
That very detail gave her words extra weight in public. Because while it sounds like hypocrisy to some, to others it reads as an honest admission that show business runs on rules rarely spoken aloud.
Surgery, implants and what comes next
The conversation then turned to her appearance. Dia spoke freely about the cosmetic work she has had done and did not hide that she is considering further procedures. Such openness has long been part of her public persona, so this time too she made no secret of what she had done and what she plans.
With that she rounded off an appearance in which she seemed determined to show there were no off-limits topics. From other people’s relationships, through her own suitors, to surgery, she laid it all on the table.
The question now is whether Dara Bubamara will respond to such direct remarks, or whether she will, as before, let the story fizzle out on its own. In show business, where every statement is weighed, silence is sometimes the loudest answer.
And what about you, do you think singers have the right to comment on the private choices of their colleagues, or is that crossing a line?
