Ava Peace speaks on Jeff Kiwa 'trying to make another Sheebah' out of her

On March 11, Sheebah Karungi shared eight pictures on Instagram and captioned them: I heard the labels are trying to make another me!? But... Anyway, NVM [Never Mind].

Karungi, better known as Queen Sheebah, has since gone silent on the matter but she surely sparked controversy.

One of the singers the public has suspected the Ice Cream hitmaker was referring to is Ava Peace who is currently working with Jeff Kiwanuka, Sheebah's manager under Team No Sleep (TNS).

"Is it true that you are being molded into Sheebah?" Peace was asked in an interview with ME Media (YouTube).

She responded: "I don't know... I don't know why she took it like that... We've never spoken about it [with Jeff]."

However, Ava Peace, who initially sarcastically laughed at the question, noted that Jeff Kiwa wants to get the best possible out of her.

Sheebah Karungi, who also goes by Queen Karma, joined the music industry as a dancer under Stingerz in 2004 before joining Obsessions in 2006 and then Jeff Kiwanuka with whom they parted ways at the end of 2021.

Ava Peace first met the founder of the Team No Sleep record label in 2018 during her Senior Six vacation.

She wanted him to manage her but he told her to first complete her education. In 2023, Ava Peace graduated from Makerere University with a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences.

Meanwhile, before they parted ways, Jeff asked her to sing for him and share her music samples. Though he didn't accept to immediately take her on, they maintained communication.

The Shabada hitmaker, in a recent interview, said that Jeff would feature her in a video as a vixen but she refused to name it. While still at university, she also released a lovely song titled Nsitula on which she featured Spice Diana and Daddy Andre, who also produced the song.

To finally work with Jeff Kiwa, she said, they recently bumped into each other at Caramel Cafe & Lounge while she had gone to buy supper and he asked her how her music career was going.

He told her he had a song for her. She then discussed it with Mudra Viral who is rumoured to be her boyfriend. "I told Mudra, of course," she said. Mudra okayed the idea and he told her to go ahead and record the song.

"So, everything I've been given a go-ahead from Mudra," she emphasised.

Since joining the management of Jeff, Ava Peace has been dropping hot jams.
