Karole Kasita has revealed that her hit remix of "Chekecha" featuring Vinka and Winnie Nwagi came to be after initial plans for a collaboration with fellow songstress Sheebah Karungi fell through. Speaking on NBS TV's Tuff B program, Kasita shared the backstory behind the chart-topping remix.

"I initially approached Sheebah with the idea for the remix," Kasita explained, "but it wasn't the right time for her. She didn't say no outright, but it wasn't feasible."

Undeterred, Kasita turned to fellow Ugandan powerhouses Vinka and Winnie Nwagi. The resulting collaboration proved to be a smash hit, propelling the "Chekecha" remix to new heights. The song's captivating video amassed over 4.1 million views on YouTube, becoming the second most-watched Ugandan song of 2023.

The success of the remix not only cemented Kasita's place in the Ugandan music scene but also paved the way for her first-ever solo concert. The singer is now reaping the rewards of her creative vision and unwavering spirit, proving that sometimes, a plan B can become a phenomenal A.

With the "Chekecha" remix still riding high on the charts and her maiden concert on the horizon, Karole Kasita is undoubtedly an artist worth watching. Whether she collaborates with Sheebah in the future or continues to forge her own path, her journey is sure to be electrifying.
