Ugandan singer Joanita Zachariassen has dismissed ongoing rumors suggesting a fallout with fellow singer Sheebah Karungi following their 2021 collaboration on the song You Lied.
For some time, speculation has been circulating that the former Denmark-based Ugandan singer was at odds with Sheebah over what some believed was a lack of promotion for their joint project. However, Zachariassen has come forward to clarify the situation and put the rumors to rest.
Sheebah Was Very Supportive
While addressing the media, Zachariassen emphasized that Sheebah was actively involved in promoting their song and that her then-manager, Jeff Kiwa, was also highly supportive of the project.
“I always wanted to do a collabo with Sheebah, and at that time, she was with Jeff Kiwa. They liked the idea, and we did the song and the video. She is supportive and pushed the song. I am so grateful for the collaboration, and we are still in touch,” she explained.
Despite Sheebah’s move to Canada to focus on raising her child, Zachariassen maintains that their relationship remains positive, even though they are not in constant communication.
Joanita’s Plans for the Future
Joanita Zachariassen also revealed that she is putting collaborations on hold for now. Instead, she wants to establish her unique sound in the Ugandan music industry before working with other artists.
