• Karole Kasita responds to claims that collaborators overshadow her.

Ugandan singer Karole Kasita has responded to claims that she often gets overshadowed by fellow artistes whenever she releases collaborative songs, following the release of her Bukutu collaboration with Sheebah Karungi.

The debate gained attention after Canada-based Ugandan blogger Senga Acid weighed in on the conversation, suggesting that Kasita tends to lose the spotlight to her collaborators. She reportedly cited the Chekecha remix, which featured Vinka and Winnie Nwagi, arguing that the two singers overshadowed Kasita despite the original song already performing well.

However, responding during an interview with Douglas Lwanga, Kasita said many people had misunderstood Acid’s remarks and drawn conclusions that did not reflect what the blogger actually meant.

According to Kasita, Acid had suggested that she should continue collaborating with Sheebah and possibly other male artistes, noting that her collaboration with Sheebah had not resulted in her being overshadowed.

“Most people did not listen to what Senga Acid actually said,” Kasita explained, clarifying the blogger’s point about her collaborations.

The singer further challenged the claim that she had been overshadowed in the first place, insisting that people were interpreting the discussion differently from what was originally said.

“There was no shadow to overshadow in the first place,” Kasita maintained, urging fans and commentators to listen carefully before drawing their own conclusions.

Meanwhile, Kasita encouraged fans to stream Bukutu, expressing confidence in the song as conversations about the collaboration continue online.

The debate highlights the scrutiny Ugandan artistes face when working together, particularly when fans compare their individual contributions, visibility and performances. For Kasita, however, the discussion is less about competition and more about understanding the original remarks correctly while allowing the music to speak for itself.
