Irene Ntale didn't show up. Before deciding to become a professional musician, Vinka was Ntale's manager at Swangz Avenue.

"She was literally my best friend at the time... she didn't come for the video shoot. But for me, that was okay because she was busy," Vinka said during an interview with Ruth Kalibbala on her YouTube channel.

That same year Irene Ntale and Vinka, real name Veronica Lugya Nakiyingi, collaborated on a song titled Stylo.

Ntale would reveal her true coluors during the video shoot.

"Then the time came when we had to shoot a video of our song Stylo," said Vinka.

"Eh... My friend came with an attitude... and I didn't know why... My friend came with an attitude... at the time of my video shoot she had already started changing and I didn't know why.

"... she is refusing outfits they're giving her... I got emotional... During the shooting, Irene decided to leave the set, and she left... she threw a tantrum and left... I cried at the shoot."

Asked if she did something wrong to her that led to that, Vinka said: "No."

"I won't say I ever did anything bad to her... till now I don't know what happened between us," she said.

Vinka said she recently met Irene Ntale and she laughed it off.

it was after the video shoot of Stylo that Ntale announced she was quitting Swangz Avenue. She had been there since 2013.

While at Swangz Avenue, Vinka used to record jingles and promotion audios. That's how her bosses noticed she could sing.

In 2016, she started recording songs though they weren't good. Then one day she told Swangz Avenue managers that she wanted to step into professional singing.
