What’s more intriguing is the not-so-subtle references in the song’s lyrics that seem to be directed at Cindy.

Fans and industry insiders are buzzing with excitement about the release. The music video for “Tosobola” has already garnered millions of views within hours of its debut, further solidifying Sheebah’s position as a dominant force in the industry.
Sheebah commented on the song’s message, stating, “Music is my way of speaking my truth and expressing my emotions. ‘Tosobola’ is about breaking free from limitations and proving that I can achieve whatever I set my mind to. It’s not about rivalry, but about personal empowerment.”
Cindy Sanyu has yet to respond to the provocative release. However, considering the history between the two artists, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Cindy will take up the musical gauntlet thrown by Sheebah.
As “Tosobola” climbs the music charts and dominates airwaves, it’s clear that Sheebah Karungi continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the Ugandan music scene.
