Evelyn Mic is firing back at Sheilah Gashumba as their public clash continues, accusing the media personality of using her social connections to intimidate people who disagree with her.
The NRG Radio Uganda presenter has described Sheilah as a “bully” while defending herself against the fallout from comments she made about Sheilah’s relationship with Alex Bidandi.
According to Evelyn, having social capital and influential connections should not give anyone the right to scare or silence other people.
She also used the latest interview to detail her own journey, emphasizing that she built her career without the advantages she says come with having influential parents.
And Evelyn is making it clear that she does not intend to back down.
The dispute between Evelyn Mic and Sheilah Gashumba began after Evelyn alleged that Sheilah had split from her boyfriend, Alex Bidandi.
Sheilah denied the claims and reportedly threatened to use her influence to have Evelyn fired from her position at NRG Radio.
Rather than retreating, Evelyn challenged Sheilah to go ahead with the threat while maintaining that she had evidence supporting the claims she made about the relationship.
The disagreement has now taken another turn, with Evelyn using a new podcast interview to directly criticize Sheilah’s approach to dealing with people who challenge her.
During the interview, Evelyn acknowledged that Sheilah has built significant social capital through her career and connections.
However, she argued that those connections should not be used to intimidate others.
“You have been in this industry before, you know people and I appreciate the fact that you have social capital but don’t use it to bully people.”
Evelyn’s choice of the word “bully” puts her latest comments among the strongest criticisms she has directed at Sheilah during their dispute.
She then shifted the conversation toward her own background and the journey that led her into the media industry.
According to Evelyn, she did not have the benefit of a powerful parent helping her secure professional opportunities.
“Some of us may not be having fathers like yours who went out to get you gigs but we are hustlers and the good Lord can never forsake us.”
She continued by arguing that people who have had to build their careers independently can also succeed.
“And now us without parents are the ones who even get blessed more.”
Evelyn also highlighted her education as part of her personal journey.
She revealed that she graduated from Makerere University with a degree and said her grandmother was responsible for educating her after she went through school without a father and mother.
“I went and completed school, I have a degree from Makerere University. I went to school without a father and mother, it was my grandmother who educated me.”
She concluded with a direct message to Sheilah.
“So please stop scaring people because you’ve not brought me up to here.”
The remarks underline Evelyn’s determination to separate her professional progress from Sheilah’s alleged influence, while keeping the dispute firmly in the public eye.
Evelyn Mic is a presenter at NRG Radio Uganda, while Sheilah Gashumba is a Ugandan media personality known for her work in entertainment and television.
Their current disagreement stems from Evelyn’s comments about Sheilah’s relationship with Alex Bidandi.
After the claims were made, Sheilah denied them and reportedly threatened to use her influence against Evelyn’s job at NRG Radio.
Evelyn subsequently refused to withdraw her position and challenged Sheilah to act on the alleged threat.
The latest podcast interview adds another layer to the dispute, with Evelyn now focusing less on the original relationship claim and more on what she describes as Sheilah’s use of social capital.
Importantly, Evelyn’s statements about Sheilah’s alleged behavior are accusations made by Evelyn and should be understood in that context.
The dispute has moved beyond a disagreement over a celebrity relationship and into a broader argument about influence, professional power and how people in the entertainment industry handle criticism.
Evelyn’s comments suggest she believes social connections should not be used to threaten someone’s career simply because they have made a claim or expressed an opinion.
Her emphasis on her own background also gives the confrontation a personal dimension.
By pointing to her education and the role her grandmother played in helping her complete school, Evelyn is presenting her career as the product of personal determination rather than inherited connections.
That framing is now central to her response to Sheilah.
Evelyn’s latest comments are as much about her own journey as they are about her dispute with Sheilah.
She described growing up without a father and mother and credited her grandmother with helping her get through school.
Her reference to graduating from Makerere University reinforces her argument that she has worked to build her own path.
For Evelyn, the message appears to be that her current position in media was earned through her own efforts and should not be threatened because she challenged someone with greater social influence.
Evelyn Mic’s latest remarks have raised the temperature in her ongoing clash with Sheilah Gashumba, with the NRG Radio presenter making it clear that she does not intend to be intimidated.
For now, the dispute remains a public back-and-forth, with both sides offering sharply different positions on what triggered the clash and where it goes next.
