More often that not Ugandan artists fall victim of false advertising by companies and show promoters who mislead their [artists] fans into attending shows expecting them to perform, but end up being disappointed—something that damage's the artists' reputation and yet there's no indemnification.
Singer Sheebah Karungi can't take it any more ... and she could supposedly sue the once popular bar Steak Out which re-branded in August 2014 to Zodiac Lounge & Grill for claiming she's going to be performing it's grand re-opening.
The poster released by Zodiac shows Sheebah as the lead artist at the show ... but she claims she had no knowledge about it because it was done without her consent ... and she could press charges, if she wanted to.

In a statement the "female artist of the year award winner" took to her instagram account and shared, she rants about the same issue most Ugandan artists have been facing by quoting "Why would some one advertise an artist without booking them?! you even go ahead ..make aposter and share it?!!! Or Why would some one receive money on behalf of an artist you don't work with?! I just don't get it!".
Sheebah claims her management doesn't know about this arrangement either and says the people that do this kind pf dirty work take their fans' money and rip artists who put in a lot of hard work and money.
She wants you to know she won't be performing at the club and their advertisement is a dirty scam. Read Sheebah's full statement below:

Honestly, This has to stop. Why would some one advertise an artist without booking them?! you even go ahead ..make aposter and share it?!!! Or Why would some one receive money on behalf of an artist you don't work with?! I just don't get it! its Business folks not a play ground.
We work so hard , put in a lot of Time & Money to be ripped off and disrespected like this...You take our Fans money and make them think its our fault which is wrong on so many levels.
I wont be performing on the show above..My management has no clue about it. I repeat, #ThisHasToStop for the better of our community and this industry.
