Robin Kisti claimed that Sheilah Gashumba paid Bad Black to abuse her. “Bad Black attacked me… Gashumba’s daughter paid her to abuse me,” Kisti told her co-hosts on Radio 4 as per a clip shared on TikTok.
“She came to my inbox. But I refused to fight with her. I got scared and I told her straight away that I fear her and I won’t abuse her because I don’t want to be humiliated.”
Robin Kisti and Sheilah Gashumba stung each other on social media in 2020 and Bad Black took the latter’s side.
At some point, Kisti, real name Robinah Nambooze claimed Black, born Shanita Namuyimbwa introduced Gashumba to prostitution.
Kisti and Gashumba were once both employees of N.T.V. Uganda though they were hosting different shows.
They even used to party together.
Their relationship soured when Gashumba, in 2020, went online to reveal that N.T.V. used to pay her peanuts, a bombshell that stimulated a polarised social media debate among TV personalities.
Kisti wasn’t on Gashumba’s side, telling her to be grateful that the Serena-based T.V. station offered her a platform to boost her career.
“I’m a mother that is why I don’t want to be involved in fights. But it hurts to see someone attacking a station that used to pay her well. NTV got us so many benefits, NTV created brands for us; she was unprofessional to attack a company that once fed her. 50k or not, if you went to school, there is no way you can tell me that you used to get 50k and spent 80k on makeup, that means you don’t know math. NTV actually used to buy us makeup, if you used to do makeup,” Kisti said.
She also went on to reveal that she and Gashumba had been friends for a while and she would spend some nights at her [Sheilah’s] father’s home in Bunga, a leafy Kampala suburb.
It should also be recalled that in 2021 Kisti wasn’t happy that Gashumba was picked over her for the role of co-hosting NBS After 5.
