Musician Carol Nantongo has come to value a small circle of friends, mostly male.

Nantongo now says she is no longer friends with Sheebah Karungi.

She explained that Sheebah is merely a colleague, and their relationship is strictly professional.

"My relationship with Sheebah is purely business. It's the music that brings us together, but nothing more. I don't know about her personal life, and likewise, she is just a colleague," she said in an interview with a local television station.

In an earlier interview this year, Carol Nantongo shared that most of her close friends are male artists.
