• The two artistes were attending the event as Castle Lite brand ambassadors.
• Spice Diana says professionalism came first despite their perceived differences.

Spice Diana has addressed the viral moment where she and fellow musician Sheebah Karungi were seen exchanging a handshake at a Castle Lite event, despite their long-standing perception of being distant from each other.

The moment attracted attention online because the two musicians have often appeared to keep each other at arm’s length, making their public interaction a talking point among fans.

However, Spice Diana says there was nothing unusual about the interaction, explaining that she had no reason to refuse a greeting from Sheebah.

“Why wouldn’t I greet her? Did she kill any of my relatives?” Spice Diana asked, making it clear that she does not see a reason to create unnecessary tension when they meet.

She further explained that both musicians were at the event in a professional capacity as brand ambassadors for Castle Lite, meaning their focus was on representing the company and doing their jobs.

“We were doing business and had come to work. We were invited as brand ambassadors for a big company so what we did was exactly what we had to do,” she said.
