Ugandan rapper Keko has publicly confirmed that she was in a romantic relationship with singer Sheebah Karungi for two years, putting an end to a decade of intense local media speculation. Speaking candidly during a recent media appearance, Keko detailed how their relationship impacted both of their lives and why it ultimately collapsed under the weight of career ambitions and industry politics.
Key Details Shared by Keko
Career Imbalance: Keko noted that during their relationship, she was already a massive, established star, while Sheebah was still struggling to find her footing in the music industry. This gap caused Sheebah to feel desperate about the direction of her own career.
The Breakup Catalyst: The romance ended because Sheebah felt the relationship was hindering her professional progress. She ultimately prioritized her music ambitions over their bond.
The Jeff Kiwa Ultimatum: The final blow to their connection came when Sheebah decided to sign with music executive Jeff Kiwa. Keko revealed that she had previously warned Sheebah about Kiwa attempting to sabotage her career. However, Kiwa gave Sheebah an ultimatum to choose between his management and her relationship with Keko. Sheebah chose Kiwa's management, which effectively drove a permanent wedge between them.
No Hard Feelings: Despite the dramatic fallout, Keko expressed that she understands Sheebah's choices at the time and holds no lingering bitterness or resentment toward her.
Current Context
While Keko recently returned to Uganda after spending nearly a decade in Canada, Sheebah Karungi has built an incredibly successful career, launched her own record label (Karma Music), and recently stepped into motherhood. In past interviews, Sheebah has consistently laughed off or denied the old romance rumours, leaving Keko's recent statements as the first definitive, public confirmation from either party.
