Ugandan singer Shakira Shakiraa, Shakira Kamulegeya Kyebalaba, has strongly refuted rumours claiming that she is at odds with fellow singer Pretty Banks over their shared manager, Mukaaya.
In a media interview, Shakiraa dismissed the gossip, explaining that she had never heard of such talk.
She emphasized that Pretty Banks is her friend and praised her musical talent, adding that she is always the loudest in cheering for her when she performs.
Shakiraa called out those spreading false rumours, urging them to stop, as such actions only aim to create unnecessary tension and harm musicians, their brands, and their careers.
Reflecting on her own early days in the industry, Shakiraa noted that there were attempts to pit her against another female musician, but she refused to engage in such conflicts, believing that the notion of feuds boosting an artiste’s career is outdated.
