Sheebah Karungi is undeniably one of the big brands of the Ugandan music scene. She is also ranked among the female artists who have worked really hard to achieve their childhood desires and dreams. Sheebah was open when she mentioned that she always dreamed of being a diva and a superstar in the Ugandan stage and currently, she is living the dream.
In a recent interview on Spark TV, Sheebah Karungi expressed how she faced a challenging time in her attempt to rise to the top. The most challenging time was when she was in the girls group known as the Obsessions, a group that later dismantled due to unclear reasons.
While sharing about her time with the Obsessions, sheebah disclosed how she was undermined greatly by the rest of the members of the group According to Sheeba, she remembers being undermined by her comrades because they saw her unfit to be a part of the team. She also recalls that she used to earn less than all of them because she was just an option in the group.
"I joined Obsessions at age 17. My life in Obsessions was tricky since I was just a former Karaoke performer. Most of the girls in the group saw me unfit to be among them. I wasn’t a priority and used to earn less or nothing at all." Sheebah said
The singer went ahead to explain that as she started her solo music career she looked up to Cindy Sanyu, who is currently her nemesis. She remembers running to the King Herself for advice and the latter even wrote a song for her dubbed Nkunyenyeze.
While recording the song, Sheebah says she was shivering because she had not had any proper studio orientation while with the Obsessions. However, one thing led to another and she is now one of the most dominant artistes on the scene.
Unfortunately, Sheebah and Cindy Sanyu who started off at such friendly terms no longer see eye-to-eye because of their quest for supremacy and dominance.
