When the idea first came up, I thought it was changing the industry, it’s not that we are pulling each other but the battle is just great for the fans

The self proclaimed dancehall ‘king’ added on that she doesn’t care what people say about her since every one has his/ her view of matters and a right to speak out their opinions.
Singer Sheebah Karungi
She continued saying that her music battle request with Sheebah wasn’t also intended to create any kind of hype for her name, new song or album to attract fans’ attention as what most artists do by creating drama and beef with fellow artists.
“I’m not that kind of artist….. when my music is coming out, it just comes out, I don’t need hype.” She said.

Those who say that witchcraft isn’t real, better change your mindset. With the on going Xenophobic attacks South Africa by the natives to residents from foreign countries, a Malawian man recently took laws into his hand to protect his life and that of his family in one of the most bizarre incidents ever happened to humans.
After being attacked at his house by two xenophobic South Africans who tried to burn his house in Durban, the yet to be identified Malawian man turned them into snakes, that left many revelers into shock.
He then dragged them along the streets to the surprise of many including some of the attackers most of whom took to their heels upon realizing what had happened.
According to revelers, there was at first a heated argument between the two men and the Malawian man that lasted for about 45 minutes, the two aggressive men then gingered terrible to get rid of the man and even to the extent of threatening to burn his hard earned house. This is where the diabolical Malawian displayed a very strange magic on them to turn them into snakes.
He is now demanding a compensation of R200,000 (approximately UGX 52.6 Millions) to change them back to humans and negotiations are still ongoing between the families of the snake-men and the Malawian man to resolve the matter.
It should be noted that the South African government has been on the mute towards the xenophobic attacks done on foreign residents in the Soweto republic and this could be a good start to get their side.
For the past 2 – 3 weeks, the music battle between Cindy and Sheebah, feud and beef between the two singers has been the talk of town from fans to fellow musicians, other entertainers as well as critics. Social media has been awash with the two camps, Sheebaholics and Cindicates going to war about the respective sides they support.
Cinderella Sanyu
A number of people mostly music lovers were at a point eager to witness the two female artistes battle it out in a live performance though there are no signs till now that this might happen.
Sheebah Karungi
This is because Sheebah has always been avoiding the debate as contagious disease. A lot seems to be happening between the two but the question remains, what could be the source of all this and who pushes the battle!!
Genesis of the Beef
The actual origin of the feud between the two singing sensations remain controversial because there are various explanations about where it all begun.
Cindy’s Performances always leave the fans wanting more, just like her music battle counterpart, Sheebah Karungi
Some claim that it came out as a planned battle between the two while others claim that Cindy was bored one evening and decided to rattle Sheebah’s cage.
Who Benefits from the Beef/ Battle
According to analysts, the truth is that the only person enjoying what is going on is the ‘Still Standing’ singer, Cindy as it suddenly thrusts her back into the limelight, reminding people that she still exists and about her abilities, which is rather significant. This backups the revelation that Cindy had accepted 50m for the battle yet Sheebah and her management rejected the 150m offer.

Sheebah has been handling the whole thing calmly, with the only response of updating her social media platforms with pictures for her Sheebaholics captioned about ‘women lifting each other’ rather than letting them down.

But it seems to have worked for Cindy as she has reminded folks that she remains a formidable artiste with memorable music like ‘Ayokyayokya’, impressive live performances, comfortable collaborations, considerable vocal powers and a considerable progress as a solo artiste.
Verdict
The truth remains that what Sheebah has done with her career is amazing.
Sheebah Karungi
She has been making at least two hit songs per year ever since she broke through with ‘Ice Cream’ song back in 2013 till now. Her success has been a combination of clever-hands on Team No Sleep (TNS) management led by Jeff Kiwa and hard work from Sheebah Herself.
However, this recent battle saga has underlined the fact that on purely technical grounds, Cindy is the superior musician and as competitive as an entertainment resource.
Singer Cindy
Sheebah had handled the beef better but her recent stint at the Burna Boy Concert at Sheraton Gardens when she screeched something about ‘They say I can’t sing’ was proof that the battle is just beginning, as she has started getting hysterical.

Minister Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi has faced it rough on different media platforms over reports that she vowed to do all what is necessary to put Fresh Kid’s music career to standstill with preference to getting education first.
Nakiwala yesterday ordered the rising star Fresh Kid real names Patrick Senyonjo to stop singing and concentrate on books as well as stopping all promoters from booking the boy to sing at music shows and vowed to arrest them the moment they fail to
follow her directives.
However, she will have a week to forget as a number of people especially on social media have turned to blast her with all sorts of insult over the matter.
Many argue that her orders will just break the boy’s hopes and future instead of motivating him, advising her to rather be supportive and provide motherly advise.
In one long post on social media, a one fan whom we’ve decided to keep anonymous said that Ugandan musicians face alot of challenges that rather bring them down and one of them is such public rejection as the minister did.
7-year-old Rapper Patrick Ssenyonjo a.k.a Fresh Kid
“Ugandan musicians face alot of challenges, the latest one being faced with rejection. The 7 year old rapperbeing attacked by the minister is n’t sensible at all!
Some of the other comments included;
“Madam Nakiwala your recent comments and orders on banning fresh kid from ever making musical performances not only depict the hate you have towards the young boy but also reveal your gross levels of incompetence to preside over the ministry you are running, another comment read!!
“You succeeded at manipulating the public that the boy should abandon music and concetrate on studies, you didn’t tell the public thats its the very income he earns from music that mantains him in school.
“Madam Nakiwala, Fresh kid didn’t need this kind of evil guidance and restraint at this particular stage in his career! He needed positive advise on how to balance music and school.
“Those in the entertainment industry know how the Nigerian government has been encouraging the 7- year Emmanuella Samuel to advance her talent and ultimately featured in international projects run by a multi-national company Disney.
“Madam Nakiwala you have consistently failed to prevail over fundamental issues that are supposed to be addressed by your ministry.
“Very many children on kampala streets, very many children who are diseased and die due to preventable illnesses, more children still dying of poisoned food in Karamoja, the unacceptable youth unemployment levels currently at 78% among others.
And now for your other musicians who always say that music and politics have no link, Its time you wake up!!!! and very many others!!
Fresh Kid is a seven year old boy who has shot to prominence with hits such as “Taki taki’ and ‘Banteeka’, and has in the recent past been hopping in happening places as he performs in various hangouts and events.
Police at Cyanika border is stuck with a body of a Rwandan woman who allegedly fell down and died on spot as Rwandan security agents were running after her and a group of others.
Body of the Deceased
The deceased is Mukarugwiza Elizabeth, who was trying to cross into Uganda through an illegal pathway, since Rwanda has banned its citizens from crossing into Uganda. Mukarugwiza is said to have been pregnant, and was trying to buy some commodities across the border, but Rwandan soldiers ran after her with a group of other people.
The women who were with the deceased say that as the soldiers ran after them, Mukarugwiza was too weak to run fast and later fell down. It is alleged that after she fell down on Ugandan territory, the soldiers sent a civilian who removed the National Identity Card from her body.
