I love Sheebah but ‘word has to be cut’ - Ichuli

Social commentator Olaxess Ismail, aka Jajja Kalevu Ichuli, said that the criticism he aims at singer Sheebah Karungi is not personal, but the constructive kind.

Sheebah and Ichuli

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.

But, according to Kasuku (who interviewed her), she actually knew him but she was pretending because she doesn't like him.

Ichuli revealed that when Sheebah closed her gate on him, he went to the house of Spice Diana, her nemesis.

Who is Sheebah?

Karungi, 33, is a recording artist, dancer, songwriter, actress, model and businesswoman, who joined the music industry when she was 15 as a dancer.

The Kansalewo hitmaker joined Obsessions in 2006 after leaving another dancing group called Stingerz, which she had joined in 2004.

After leaving Obsessions, in 2010 she dropped Kunyenyenza, her first official single, produced by David Washington and written by Cindy. Then Sizzaman wrote for her Automatic and it became a hit.

She would release her first mini-album in 2014 titled Ice Cream and featuring a single the album was named after, Twesana and Jordan.

Her song Nkwatako became a huge hit in 2016 and she organised her first well-attended concert at Hotel Africana.
