Ugandan singer Sophie Nantongo has finally broken her silence on the much-anticipated music battle with veteran artist Catherine Kusasira, revealing why fans never got to witness the showdown. Contrary to rumors that she feared facing Kusasira, Nantongo insists that she was fully prepared, and it was Kusasira who ultimately stepped back.
“I Was Ready, She Wasn’t” – Nantongo Clears the Air
In a candid interview, Sophie Nantongo dismissed claims suggesting she backed out or was intimidated by Kusasira.
“I didn’t fear battling Kusasira. When I asked her for the music battle, she instead flew out of the country to go for an operation. I even tried calling her, but her phone was on roaming, and I realised she was being hidden,” Nantongo explained.
The revelation gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at why the long-discussed battle between the two singers never materialized, despite weeks of speculation and social media buzz.
Ready Anytime, Anywhere
When asked if she would still be willing to engage in the battle if organized in the future, Nantongo was confident and unhesitant.
“Anytime she is ready for the battle, I am ready. I don’t care where it will be held. These days, I don’t even understand her. The last few times I called her, she didn’t pick up my calls, so I decided to put the battle issues aside,” she said.
This statement reinforces Nantongo’s stance as a fearless and professional artist, eager to showcase her talent on any stage, whenever the opportunity arises.
Communication Breakthrough
Despite initial difficulties connecting, Nantongo later managed to reach Kusasira after switching phone lines.
“I switched my contact and called using another line, and that’s when she picked up. I told her that I don’t have any problem with her,” Nantongo shared.
This interaction underscores that any tension between the two singers is not personal, but rather logistical, leaving the door open for a potential future showdown.
