Takeaways

• Kalifah AgaNaga has weighed in on the dispute between Sheebah Karungi and Jeff Kiwa over music rights and royalties.
• He argues both parties contributed to Sheebah’s success and should share earnings from her catalog.
• The disagreement over ownership and royalties has escalated and is now being handled in court.

The heat surrounding the ongoing fallout between Sheebah Karungi and her former manager Jeff Kiwa has just taken another twist, with Kalifah AgaNaga stepping in with a bold opinion.

As the two camps remain locked in a tense dispute over music rights and royalties, AgaNaga has made it clear he believes the situation is being dragged out unnecessarily. In his view, the solution is simple—end the fight and split the money.

“Sheebah and Jeff Kiwa should just split royalties and move on,” he said, adding that Jeff Kiwa played a significant role in financing and shaping Sheebah’s early career.

During her time under Team No Sleep, Sheebah rose from a dancer to one of the country’s biggest music stars, delivering hit songs and building a powerful brand.

Jeff Kiwa was widely credited for guiding that rise and investing heavily in her journey but now the focus has shifted from the success they built together to a dispute over who owns it.

At the center of the matter is control of Sheebah’s music catalog and who continues to earn from it, an issue that has already made its way to court.

According to Kalifah AgaNaga’s perspective, Jeff Kiwa’s investment and management laid the foundation, while Sheebah’s talent and consistency turned that foundation into long-term value, so both of them should split royalties.
