Celebrated Ugandan songstress Sheebah Samalie Karungi has joyfully confirmed the arrival of her baby boy, whom she has named Amir. The news, which first broke on Monday morning, quickly spread across social media, with fans and well-wishers flooding her pages with messages of congratulations and love.
The news was initially shared by Sheebah’s close friend and fellow artist, Roden Y Kabako, who expressed his excitement and offered heartfelt congratulations to the Queen Karma singer. He was among the first to break the joyful news, and his post quickly went viral, sparking a wave of celebration among Sheebah’s fans and the wider entertainment community.
In her own announcement, Sheebah took to her social media platforms to confirm the birth of her son.

Along with the confirmation of her son’s birth, Sheebah revealed the significance behind the name Amir, which means “prince” or “leader” in Arabic, symbolizing strength, royalty, and a bright future for her little one.
Sheebah’s fans, many of whom have followed her journey both professionally and personally, have expressed immense joy and admiration for the singer, who has long been a trailblazer in the Ugandan music industry. Known for her bold personality and impressive musical career, Sheebah has always kept her private life somewhat under wraps, making the news of her son’s birth even more special for her supporters.
This announcement comes after months of speculation and hints about Sheebah’s pregnancy, a time when the singer kept a relatively low profile, focusing on her health and family. The arrival of her son marks a new chapter in the life of the multi-talented artist, who has made waves not only as a musician but also as a role model for many young women in Uganda.
The name Amir is seen by many as a reflection of Sheebah’s own strength and leadership qualities, with fans eager to see the boy grow into his name as he embarks on life’s journey.

Thank you all for your prayers. My little bird and I are doing great, mwebale kunsabira. My heart is so full right now. Mukama mulungi. Amir, 24.11.24
