Fans may need to shelve their hopes for another high-voltage showdown between legendary rivals Cindy Sanyu and Sheebah Karungi.
Fans may need to shelve their hopes for another high-voltage showdown between legendary rivals Cindy Sanyu and Sheebah Karungi. Despite the lingering buzz from their explosive battle two years ago at Kololo Independence Grounds, Cindy says the chapter is firmly closed.
In a candid conversation with YouTuber on Tuesday, the King Herself revealed that she has no intention of stepping back into the musical boxing ring, especially not with another woman. Cindy didn’t mince words about why.
“I don’t want to do a battle with anyone ever again. Especially a fellow woman,” she said. “I don’t want to shame a fellow female like that again. You can’t embarrass people like that twice.”
The singer, who walked away from last year’s battle with both bragging rights and renewed respect from the industry, believes that returning for a rematch would cross a moral line.
“The first time it was a battle,” she explained. “The second time it would be evil. It would be very unfair. That ended—I made a point and it reached home.”
Her remarks cast a dramatic shadow over the lingering rivalry narrative that fans have kept alive for months. While some had hoped for a sequel to the record-breaking showdown, Cindy’s declaration suggests she’s more focused on uplifting women than revisiting past wars.
Whether the music industry agrees or whether Sheebah has her own response brewing, remains to be seen.
