During the press conference to announce the launch of the label dubbed Karma Music, a reporter asked: "Are there any renowned personalities that are part of directors in Karma Music or when we see Karma we should know that's Sheebah?"
She responded: "When you see Karma, just know that's Sheebah Karungi. That's it. Anything beyond that, as you know me, I don't discuss my business details on screen."
Sheebah Karungi just broke the glass ceiling, announcing Wednesday, the launch of her own music record label.
An excited Karungi took to social media to trumpet the news to her fans.

“It’s about that time I mentor my own artists! Yassss!” she posted on Instagram.
“Your Queen officially owns a music label! …I can’t say much right now ‘cause am rushing out for a press conference but stay tuned !!! And follow the pages below for more information!”
The launch comes just days before her highly anticipated music battle with another female great, Cindy Sanyu next month.
Cindy just days ago, came out with a scathing critique of Ugandan music labels which she accused of using artiste as "slave dolls'.
But having been in the industry for the past 12 years, Karungi says she thought it fit to start teaching other artists through her own experience.
“Thanks for supporting me but now I also want to support the industry in a different way,” she said.
“I am about to become the first queen to own a music record label.
“A hustler like me who was once a dancer and they said I wouldn't make it; I left karaoke and joined the Obsessions they said it won't be possible; even up to now they still say it is impossible but look where I am baby.
“I want to teach you what I have learned in the business I have been in since I was 14.”
Sheebah Karungi spent a decade in the music industry under the manager of TNS, which is owned by Jeff Kiwa.
