The self-titled King herself said Nokia is the mother of all phones, while the iPhone, like all the other newer brands has become ubiquitous and affordable to everyone.
Cindy was hitting back at Sheebah who earlier in the week referred to her as a ‘Nokia’ and herself an iPhone.
The two leading female artists are not at the best of terms currently, having organized shows to take place on the same date; September 15. Both shows have been announced to be at Kololo Independence Grounds, although this is expected to be rectified soon.
In an interview with Bukedde Tv which aired this Wednesday morning, Cindy laughed off her new nickname saying it did in fact make her the real trailblazer of female artists that she is.
“Nokia was here before the iPhone; it is the phone that taught everyone how to operate a mobile phone before all these other brands showed up,” she said.
“Nokia phones also were expensive and respected; not everyone had a Nokia except for the rich. But now, anyone can afford an iPhone. Even my 12 year old daughter has one.”

In the interview, the “One and Only” singer sought to assert her dominance in the industry, and also revealed how she helped groom Sheebah shortly after she quit the girl-group, Obsessions.
“When she left, she called me for help and I wrote her her very first solo single “Kunyeyeza.” I gave her guidance and even went with her on a tour to Western and Northern Uganda. I showed her around and nurtured her,” Cindy recounted.
For the beef between them now, the 37-year-old said there is no harm in artists battling it out, as long as it doesn't go out of hand.
“Battles are not bad as long as people don't get to tearing each other apart.”
Meanwhile, Sheebah doubled down on her attack, aiming more insults at Cindy last night.
‘My posts are not directed to anybody. But if the shoe fits, wear it Cindaf****nrella,” she posted.
