Sheebah, Cindy beef hits the studio

 

Then, at a certain point the rift, popularized by both the mainstream and social media, descended to the fans. It was the fans arguing about "Who Is Who?" of the two artistes.

 

But as you read this, the beef that started from a critique to one part has taken yet another twist. This time, a big, fundamental face that eliminates any signs and hopes of it ending soon. The beef is in the studio. Gloves off and bare knuckles, you can conclude.

 

To climax the backlashes largely orchestrated by the media, Cindy released ‘Copy Cat', an obvious nudge on Sheebah, who she criticizes for being "lacking in creativity." As a reply to the attacks, Sheebah hit the studio to record 'Kimansulo' and 'Jealousy' which are believed to be counter diss tracks to Cindy.

 

It is not clear who first released a song, but obviously, the songs are gaining momentum on the playlists of their fans. Radio, TV, and Online media are discussing the songs.

 

In her Patois-themed single, Cindy insinuates that her nemesis is not original, who imitates them who are original, thus the tag "copycat."

 

Cindy takes the battle a notch higher. Her lyrics in the song loosely translate as, "If you think you compete with me and showing that you diss, why do you fright?"

For those who have followed the battle know that a music performance battle had been suggested, similar to what Bobi Wine and Bebe Cool had back in 2011. Cindy was upbeat and seemingly ready. Sheebah rejected it. So the line in Cindy's song can be interpreted as a sarcastic jab to Sheebah's perceived frights.

 

In both media and the song, Sheebah has portrayed Cindy as a jealous, who is envious of her achievements.

 

In Jealousy, Sheeba sings, "Shame upon you, know I am going nowhere. I will be in your ear, so you remember your biggest fear... When I have a nice hairstyle, it hurts. When I have a song, it hurts you…"

 

Sheebah plays the victim card. Cindy, on the hand, minces no words.

 

Earlier, when the musical performance battle was suggested, Cindy sarcastically noted, "We are not at the same level. Sheebah is a great artiste, she is very entertaining. She just needs a little more practice and then we can have a battle which is fair because it wouldn't be fair to put me on a stage with Sheebah right now."

 

In another jab, Cindy called Sheebah a "CD artiste" who cannot perform with a live band and therefore a battle right now would just destroy her. "You cannot do a battle on CD. It has to be live," Cindy provoked.

 

Sheebah in a counterattack reminded Cindy that she has not built a house despite spending so many years in the music industry.

 

As it rages, we can only hope it doesn't go sour. Let us watch the space.
