Sheebah Karungi to choose Between Motherhood and the Spotlight

EntertainmentSheebah Karungi to choose Between Motherhood and the Spotlight

Kampala Entertainment News and Gossip-; The moment that many of her fans remember so clearly is the rise of Sheebah Karungi once a dancer in the group Obsessions, breaking out solo and building a bold brand as a performer unafraid of high-energy, attention-grabbing looks and songs.


Today, that star has taken another step in her life motherhood. And with that new chapter comes questions, conversations and even a public nudge from fellow socialite Roger Otis, asking: What now for the Queen?

The Comment That Sparked the Debate

On 28 October, Roger Otis posted:
“Queen, I have no right to put you down… if anything, I should be lifting you up as a new mother.
But tell me, what in the world is a mother doing setting attention traps?
… You transitioned into motherhood so gracefully, even showed up at your show’s press conference like the queen you are.
Are you still competing with the Ava Peace and Jowy Landa(s) of this world?
Have you run out of role models? Or were you simply missing the spotlight?
Today, I don’t have answers … just questions, because honestly, you’ve left me startled.”
The post stirred chatter: Is it fair for a mother-of-one and one who is still in the public eye as a performer to retain the same bold visuals and energetic brand she built before motherhood?

What Do We Expect from Sheebah Now?

As a fan of Sheebah, you might ask: What behaviour should we expect from her now?
Here are some thoughts…

1. The “brand continuity” argument

Sheebah built her image from day one on bold performances, strong visuals and a confident stage persona. The fact that she is now a mother does not automatically mean she should change everything. Many artists continue their “pre-motherhood” creative selves while embracing their new personal chapter.

2. The “evolution” argument

It’s also reasonable to expect some evolution not because motherhood rules one out of being sexy or bold, but because it does add new dimensions: reflection, maturity, and legacy, possibly a shift in content or visuals that reflect the mother-and-artist balance.
Roger Otis seems to suggest this when he says “even puppies grow into dogs… growth is expected.”

3. The “audience expectation” question

Fans might wonder: Will Sheebah now adopt “softer” visuals? More long‐sleeved dresses, fewer risqué poses? Or will she stick to the style that made her famous curvy, confident, unapologetic and show that motherhood and “slayer” persona can coexist?

4. The “choice and agency” point

Ultimately, it becomes a matter of Sheebah’s choice: how she wants to be seen, what message she wants to send, and how she balances her public image with her private life. If one critiques her simply because she doesn’t conform to a “motherhood style” stereotype, one risks imposing a restrictive template on her.
What We Are Seeing Now Music, Style & Trends
Sheebah hasn’t slowed down. Recent tracks that continue to enjoy traction in 2025 include:

“Wesibadde” — trending online.
“Somebody” — still getting strong listens.
“Neyanziza” & “Wakikuba” — appearing in song lists for 2025.
Indeed, the Queen still has enough energy and so much more to offer Uganda’s entertainment industry.

If Sheebah is doing all this balancing motherhood while remaining bold, confident, and active in her music career then what should we, as fans, expect from the younger generation of female artists like Ava Peace, Tracy Melon, and others?

Should they take inspiration from Sheebah’s resilience, hard work, and consistency? Or should they try to create their own unique identities while learning from her journey?

One thing is clear; Sheebah has set a strong example. She has shown that being a woman, a mother, and a performer can all go hand in hand.

The new generation of artists can look up to her not only for her music and style but also for her courage to stay true to herself, no matter what people say.

Her visual style remains on point: sharp, curvy silhouettes, bold fabrics, confident presence. That she is embracing motherhood publicly and still stepping into her performance wardrobe is the core of the discussion.

So Should Sheebah “Retire” Her Old Vibes?

In short: no but perhaps she might adjust them.

If you expect her to stop entirely doing what made her famous (bold outfits, confident posturing, vibrant stage shows), you might be setting a false binary: mother vs performer. Sheebah needn’t choose one to the exclusion of the other.

If you expect her to evolve the vibes so they reflect both motherhood and the performer she is that seems reasonable and respectful to her journey.

If you’re worried she’s “chasing spotlight” rather than embracing motherhood well, that’s a personal critique that may or may not reflect her genuine intentions. And one can argue: why can’t a mother still enjoy the spotlight?

What might you want from Sheebah going forward? You could hope for:

Show-pieces that reflect her new chapter, perhaps moments of vulnerability, songs about motherhood, life balance.

But also plenty of the energy that made you a fan; the bold visuals, the stage presence, the unapologetic queen she is.

A narrative that says: “Yes, I’m a mother now and I’m still me.”
