According to Ichuli, when he is poking holes in the entertainment industry, he normally takes aim at people whose work he admires. There's no ill motive, he said.

"On a serious note, I like Sheebah a lot," he said, "and it's people that I like that I hit most."

Ichuli spoke out following an incident where Karungi, real name Samalie Njagala Karungi, chased him away from her house in Munyonyo, Kampala.

The songstress, who professionally goes by Sheebah, even recently pretended not to know him.
