“I want to extend special thanks to Victoria University Kampala, Uganda, and my brother Dr. Muganga for wholeheartedly embracing my idea for this battle.

Sheebah, who is also the founder of the Yolo Festival and the primary event organizer, expressed her deep appreciation for Cindy for accepting the challenge. Sheebah sees this music battle as a game-changer for the Ugandan music industry.
“To our incredible fans and all of Uganda, you made this historic event possible! We love and appreciate you ❤️. Kadanke and your team, thank you for transforming Kololo into a spectacle reminiscent of Vegas with your remarkable stage, sound, lights, and screens. We were thrilled with the setup,” Sheebah added.
She didn’t forget to express her gratitude to her loyal fans, the Sheebaholics, who have shown unwavering support throughout her career. Sheebah also acknowledged her hardworking team, including Bukenya Edriisa, Cathy Patra, Mariah Benitah, Mutebi Ronnie, Mulindwa, Jesse Trigger, Shafiq Kamara, and Makeup Studio, for their dedication and effort in making the event a success.
