Ugandan singer Ava Peace, best known for her hit “Team No Sleep,” is breaking her silence and setting the record straight about the alleged tension between her and fellow star Sheebah Karungi.
In a new interview making rounds on social media, Ava Peace laughed off the growing rumors that she’s been feeling “stressed” ever since Sheebah returned to the music scene after a much-talked-about break.
“Who did she leave the void for? Lol,” Ava said with a confident laugh. “She was still singing when I started singing, and she’s still singing now. There’s enough room for everyone to shine.”
“I’m One of the Most-Booked Artists in Uganda”
Far from feeling overshadowed, Ava made it clear she’s thriving — and busy! The rising star proudly described herself as “one of the most-booked artists in Uganda,” emphasizing that her success is a result of dedication and grace, not competition.
“I am one of the most-booked artists in Uganda, and they should keep booking me,” Ava said playfully, making it known that her calendar stays full.
Her comments came shortly after social media users speculated that Sheebah’s powerful comeback might be putting pressure on the new wave of female artists who have enjoyed the spotlight during her brief hiatus.
But Ava isn’t having any of it. To her, success isn’t a zero-sum game.
“Everyone can shine,” she said. “There’s space for all of us in this industry.”
Sheebah’s Comeback and Industry Buzz
Sheebah Karungi — one of Uganda’s most celebrated female artists — had stepped back from the limelight earlier this year, sparking endless debate about who would take her spot at the top.
During that time, Ava Peace’s career skyrocketed. Her hit singles, consistent media presence, and sold-out shows positioned her as one of the hottest acts in East Africa. So, when Sheebah recently resurfaced with new music and fresh performances, fans naturally began comparing the two.
But Ava wants no part in a feud narrative.
“Sheebah is a veteran in the industry,” she reminded interviewers. “She’s been doing this long before I even started. So to say she left a gap for me is cheap talk.”
Her remarks echo a growing sentiment among Uganda’s new generation of artists: that collaboration and self-belief matter more than rivalry and social media drama.
“God Has Blessed Me — I’m Just Using My Gift”
Beyond the chatter, Ava took a moment to reflect on her musical journey and divine motivation.
“There was a time when we could barely release a song,” she recalled. “If God has now blessed you and you’re able to release music back-to-back, then do it. Every artist would love to do that, but not everyone has that ability.”
Her faith and work ethic have been key to her consistent output. Fans have noticed that Ava seems to drop hit after hit, rarely taking a break between releases.
That relentless drive, she says, is simply grace in action — not competition.

Fans React: “Ava’s Confidence Is Everything!”
After her interview went viral, social media was buzzing with reactions. Many fans praised Ava for handling the situation with confidence and positivity.
One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“Ava Peace just proved she’s in her own lane. No need for drama when you’re booked and blessed!”
Another commented:
“That’s how a queen moves. No stress, just success.”
Of course, others couldn’t resist fueling the rivalry rumors — especially since both artists have been dominating the Ugandan charts lately. But even the debates online only seem to boost both stars’ visibility and streams.
The Bigger Picture: Women Winning in Ugandan Music
Ava Peace’s remarks come at a time when more women are claiming space in the male-dominated East African music industry. From Spice Diana to Karole Kasita, a new wave of fearless female performers is redefining what success looks like — and Ava is proudly part of that movement.
Instead of clashing, these artists are showing that competition can coexist with mutual respect and collaboration. As Ava put it, there’s “enough room for everyone to shine.”
Her message is clear: while others focus on gossip, she’s focused on growth, gigs, and giving her fans more music.
What’s Next for Ava Peace?
With new singles lined up and several performances booked across the region, Ava Peace shows no signs of slowing down. Her strong work ethic, catchy hooks, and magnetic personality have made her a fan favorite — both online and on stage.
And as for Sheebah? The veteran star’s return has only reignited excitement in Uganda’s pop scene — something Ava fully embraces.
“Sheebah’s return is good for the industry,” one insider told E Page One. “It pushes everyone to work harder, release better music, and uplift Ugandan entertainment.”
Ava agrees — it’s all love, not rivalry.
Final Word
In a world that thrives on celebrity beef and online shade, Ava Peace’s message of confidence and gratitude stands out. She’s not losing sleep over anyone’s comeback — she’s too busy creating hits, booking shows, and living her dreams.
“I’m too booked to be stressed,” might just be the new motto for Uganda’s new generation of queens.
