Musician Sheebah Karungi shocked fans in more ways than one at the recently ended press conference for the upcoming music battle against fellow musician Cindy Sanyu. Karungi turned up in a stunning metal chain headpiece that flung her into the league of 'African queens' who wear headpieces fit for a queen.

The two artists faced off in the parking lot of Victoria University over the upcoming battle to give fans and the public a "road to" the battle and they did not disappoint. With the battle three weeks away, the press conference has sparked off various speculations of the event to come.

Karungi showed up in blue denim damaged jeans, a sequin push-up crop top and a metal head face chain.

The headpiece is an AIBEARTY women's masquerade headwear and like most jewellery, holds a lot of power whether in symbolism or the price tag.

Usually, even when the price tag is unknown, the symbolism and significance are felt.

And although the significance is decided by the one who wears the piece of jewellery, there are many powerful African celebrities that have adorned regal headpieces such as this for major events.

These include Nicki Minaj, who wore the ornate Demode Jewelry headpiece and matching Alexander McQueen ensemble in 2020, Beyonce's headpiece on the Grammy stage, Lupita Nyong'o in a green ornate headband for her first Met Gala, Whitney Houston in the movie 'The Bodyguard', Rihanna's headpiece over a sweeping Guo Pei gown, and many more.
