Ichuli, real name Ibrahim Tusubira, said Eddy Kenzo deserved the leading position before changing it to David Lutalo.
He named King Saha as number two and Pallaso as number three.

Kabako and Sheebah Karungi were formerly under the management of Team No Sleep (TNS), which is run by Jeff Kiwa. Kabako, who quit TNS in 2022, joined the mainstream music industry in 2007. Sheebah left TNS in 2021.
One of Kabako’s first hits was with the late AK47 titled Diana. But it was when he joined TNS in 2016 that things really took off.
Some of his biggest hits include Number Emu, Akasolo, Bitangaza, Sabisura, Muggule Amabaala, Zzina and Bano Bano.
