Sheebah Karungi’s father laid to rest, he had disowned her

Popular singer Sheebah Karungi’s was laid to rest on Sunday and being a Muslim, he had disowned her at the Time of his death. He even willed that she not bury him.

Sheebah’s mother had a tell-all interview with a local newspaper and here is an excerpt.

“I was married to a man called Lutwama ( refused to reveal second name) and we had six children together in Kayanja Buikwe district. One day, my husband’s brother Ahmad Kimali Musoke picked interest in me and our secret affair resulted in a child now called Sheebah. I kept this secret from my husband until I couldn’t hold it anymore. I later opened up to him one day and let the truth out,” Edith told the newspaper.

She furthermore revealed that after breaking the news to her husband Lutwama, she was shocked by his response. He was not bothered and forgave her instantly.

It was sibling rivalry

According to Edith, it was as a result of sibling rivalry that she was not aware of. Musoke had seduced her as a way of revenging on his brother who had had an affair with his wife.

“I later got to know that it was a revenge between the two brothers. My husband Lutwama had also had an affair with Musoke’s wife and the two had agreed that revenge would settle all,” she said.

“ After giving birth to Sheebah, Musoke ( Sheeba’s father) started ordering me around something I couldn’t take in. We fell out. Even when my daughter was grown and started singing, he used to send orders that she should stop pursuing her music career. Remember, he hadn’t contributed anything during my daughter’s growth. Actually, it’s my husband Lutwama ( Musoke’s brother) who cared so much for her. He even paid  her school fees,” she added.
