'I love it' - Rema speaks on Cindy, Sheebah Karungi music battle

Namakula, who said she will attend the music battle, said she has no problem with both songstresses, adding that the harmless verbal exchange is good for the industry.

"I don't have a problem with them," said Rehema Namakula, better known as Rema. "I love them both.

"... but it's fun it's entertaining. I love it... I will be there... My legs will be split, with one on Cindy's side and another on Sheebah's... because I love them both. I can't take sides."

Rema also said that she was humbled that Cindy respects her after she recently noted that she would battle anyone that came into the industry before her except Rema.

"I'm humbled if that's what she feels because women rarely believe in each other," she said.

Rema was speaking to the media during the Evelyn Namulondo concert.

Cindy recently said she would participate in a music battle pitting her against a combination of Sheebah, Spice Diana, Lydia Jazmine, Winnie Nwagi and all the female singers that have joined the music industry in the past six years.

"Even if they combine all the female musicians that joined the industry in the past six years I can face off with them," said Cindy during a media interview.

Cindy, born Cinderella Sanyu Munyonjo, said after her September 15 concert that's set to happen on the same day as Sheebah Karungi's Yolo Festival, no female artiste will want to compare themselves to her again.

"They should stop comparing me to those kids. After that show, they won't compare me to anyone again... I am confident in my live performance..."

Asked if Rema Namakula should also be teamed up with the aforementioned singers, she said the Ngonze hitmaker should be removed.

"Rema is a singer... she is an actual singer," said Cindy, "... she knows how to perform on stage."

Cindy said that her earlier remarks about Sheebah, Nwagi and Karole Kasita were about showing that she has more experience than them so they need to respect her.

That she didn't mean to say that they are not good musicians.

She said that just as she "respects" songbirds who were there before her like Juliana Kanyomozi and Iryn Namubiru, musicians who came after her should also do the same.
