Ugandan singer Ava Peace, the rising star behind Team No Sleep hits, is clapping back at claims that she’s feeling the heat from Sheebah Karungi’s much-talked-about return to mainstream music.
Social media has been buzzing ever since Sheebah re-emerged after her extended break, with some critics suggesting that Ava might be “stressed” or “worried” about her spotlight fading. But the “Shabada” singer isn’t losing sleep over it—literally.
“Who did she leave the void for? Lol. She was still singing when I started singing. She’s still singing, and I believe there’s enough room for everyone to shine,” Ava said confidently in a recent interview.
“I’m Still Booked and Busy”
Ava didn’t hold back when it came to setting the record straight. She proudly declared that her calendar speaks for itself.
“I’m one of the most-booked artists in Uganda, and they should keep booking me,” she said with a laugh.
And she’s not wrong—Ava has been dominating stages across the country, from city nightlife gigs to major cultural events. Her smooth blend of Afrobeat and dancehall has kept fans hooked, and she’s showing no signs of slowing down.
With a steady stream of new releases, Ava’s star power continues to rise. She says her work ethic and faith keep her moving forward.
“There was a time when we could barely release a song,” she reflected. “If God has now blessed you and you’re able to release music back-to-back, then do it. Every artist would have loved to do that but they just don’t have the ability to.”
Sheebah’s Return: Competition or Celebration?
Sheebah’s return to the spotlight has sparked waves of online chatter. Known for her fierce independence and bold performances, the veteran star had taken some time off from the public eye—leaving many to speculate about her next move.
Now that she’s back, fans and critics alike are watching how the industry’s newer faces—like Ava Peace, Vinka, and Spice Diana—respond.
But Ava made it clear: she’s not here for beef or drama. She’s all about collaboration and celebration.
“Sheebah is a music veteran,” Ava emphasized. “She’s someone we all look up to. Her coming back is good for the industry. It keeps us all working harder.”
Inside Uganda’s Female Music Power Shift
Uganda’s music industry has seen a major transformation over the past few years, with more women stepping up to lead the charts. Artists like Sheebah, Winnie Nwagi, Karole Kasita, and now Ava Peace have redefined the sound and image of modern Ugandan pop.
What sets Ava apart is her fresh energy and unwavering self-confidence. While Sheebah paved the way for female performers to claim their space unapologetically, Ava is proving that the next generation can shine just as brightly—without tearing anyone down.
Industry insiders say Ava’s success story is also a reminder of the power of social media, streaming, and branding in today’s entertainment world. Her strategic releases and relatable personality have turned her into a household name among Gen Z fans.
