Musoke was a very strong muslim and always disapproved Sheebahs music passion saying Sheebah’s secular music ,dirty dance styles and skimpy outfits were sinful because they went against his religious beliefs and a disgrace.
Ahamada always sent orders demanding Sheebah stop singing and Sheebah was never willing to stop her music career claiming he was never a present father and has no authority over her life.
