Cindy's announcement came after Sheebah had already secured the venue for her own concert. During a recent press conference, Cindy implied that she does not see herself as a competitor to Sheebah because she considers Sheebah to be a newcomer in the music industry.
"I see her as a young artist. I even wrote her first song, 'Ngenda Kunyenyeza.' I accompanied her to the studio and introduced her to the producer. I mentored her for an entire year," Cindy stated in her interaction with journalists.
While Sheebah has not yet responded directly to Cindy's announcement, she did post a cryptic photo on social media earlier today. The photo shows Sheebah holding a phone, and the caption reads "Am the iPhone. Your the Nokia." This has led fans to speculate that Sheebah is indirectly addressing Cindy's comments.

It also underscores the importance of individuality and self-expression in the industry, as artists strive to establish their unique identities and stand out from the crowd.
