Popular Ugandan artist Sheebah Karungi is under fire after missing a court date tied to a dispute over music ownership. Her lawyers had declared her the exclusive owner of her entire catalog, warning against unauthorized use.
Team No Sleep (TNS), the label that backed her early career, challenged these claims in court, calling them unfounded. Sheebah’s no-show has weakened her position, sources say.
TNS aims to secure a favorable ruling, emphasizing that music ownership stems from contracts between artists and labels. Legal observers note that unilateral ownership claims don’t hold up without agreements.
This case highlights tensions between Ugandan artists and their labels, potentially setting precedents for future disputes.
