Musicians Federation's heated elections put Sheebah, Saha friendship to test

On Friday, musicians announced a new body that they hope will help grow the industry.

Shebah Karungi was elected the Federation's first vice president but her best friend King Saha reportedly lost to Bebe Cool.

According to reports, Cool and Saha, who are long-time nemeses, stood for the head of the organisation's finance committee.

Cool won but it appears Saha wasn't contented with the results.

In a media interview, Sheebah was asked: "Are you okay with the interim committee?"

She responded: "Yes... I can't not be okay with it, yet it's people that elected the leaders. The committee didn't come from the sky... We sat down and discussed the best people that can lead us."

Sheebah called on musicians to avoid negativity, adding that the likes of Saha who banged tables after losing need to get their act together.

She said: "I don't want us to put negativity in this agenda... Even King Saha who banged a table should stop... it's not uncommon for family members to share a plate even after fighting... they don't change parents."

In 2022, Sheebah Karungi revealed that her closest friends in the entertainment industry are King Saha, Kabako and Anne Kansiime.

Sheebah even supported Saha when he stood against Cindy for the presidency of the Uganda Musicians Association.

The duo has also collaborated on a number of projects and released hit songs together.
