Celebrated Ugandan musician Jackie Chandiru has publicly lauded fellow singer Sheebah Karungi, branding her the best female artiste in Uganda at the moment.
Speaking during an interview with a local YouTuber, Chandiru—who enjoyed major success years before Sheebah’s rise—acknowledged Sheebah’s consistency, mastery, and ability to deliver exactly what fans want.
“Sheebah is the best female artiste in the country and she has performed well for years. She and Spice Diana mastered the game—they do what their fans want to hear and it continues to work for them,” Chandiru said.
She further applauded other powerhouse female musicians, including Tracy Melon and Winnie Nwagi, for their growth and contribution to the industry.
However, Chandiru’s bold declaration may not sit well with some fans, particularly Cindicates—supporters of Cindy Sanyu—who believe Jackie naturally belongs in their corner due to her musical history and close association with Cindy.
Chandiru’s remarks come at a time when competition among Uganda’s female artists remains intense, with fanbases fiercely defending their favorites.
