Nimrod, Kasuku name top female artistes

Nimrod Nabeeta, alias D.J. Nimrod, ranked the top female artistes in the country.

Sheebah, Azawi and Rema

According to him, Rema Namakula and Winnie Nwagi are at the top.

They are followed by Sheebah Karungi and Spice Diana.

According to him, "those are the top four that are currently running the music industry."

Nimrod shared his view in a recent conversation with Kasuku. For Kasuku, Julianna Kanyomozi, Halima Namakula and, Iryn Namubiru and Annet Nandujja are the top female artistes.

Asked about Azawi, Nimrod said: "She hasn't entered the class of those four."

Asked to compare Karungi and Diana, he said: "Of course, Sheebah has more hits than Spice Diana. That's a fact. But at the end of the day, Spice Diana knows how to present herself in public and get public favor compared to Sheebah."

He added: "Sheebah has a cocoon of women, the feminists, that she's trying to use to project an impression that women can stand on their own. Which is wrong."

Last year, ahead of Kanyomozi's concert, which was held on August 18 at the Kampala Serena Hotel, Nimrod took to Facebook to say that he was disappointed in artistes for supporting the Nabikoowa hitmaker's concert yet she never supports them.

"... This Music Industry can be funny and unpredictable. The way Ugandan Musicians are posting about Juliana’s Show and yet she NEVER posts any of your shows!!" he said in the post.

Nimrod noted that Kanyomozi had only posted about Azawi's concert which was held on July 22 because Azawi is managed by Swangz Avenue, which was also promoting her (Kanyomozi's) concert.

"She only posted Azawi’s coz [sic] Swangz is doing her show," he said.

"I love an industry where we support each other or where we support those who support us... She doesn’t deserve the support she doesn’t give."

In a recent media interview, Nimrod said that after calling out Kanyomozi, he received multiple links and screenshots showing posts the songstress had shared on her social media promoting concerts of other musicians. He said she had last promoted a fellow musician’s concert in 2017 and she was also selective about whom she posts about, looking at only "friends and those she knows." This reporter couldn't independtly verify this.

Nimrod said: "After what I said artistes started posting each other."

He added: "Sometime back, do you think Juliana would have posted Spice Diana? For what reason? It was impossible... Would Juliana have attended Nwagi's show? In whose show had you ever seen her as a guest?"

It's true that since then Kanyomozi has promoted a number of artiste's shows, including that of Jose Chameloene, David Lutalo, Eddy Kenzo, Slick Stuart & Roja Mixtape --. Still, it may not necessarily be because of what Nimrod said.
