"Disregard the falsehood going around. GRENADE attacked Rickman with a glass and threw it to his face. It seems he had already planned this as soon as we entered. He kept coming to our table trying for fight RICKMAN’s stylist first and he was stopped then he resorted to throwing a glass which cut Rickman and he run on a boda. We have looked for him everywhere allin vail and now we are in the hospital getting stitches."- she said.
Sheilah wants to clarify that the rumors suggesting she was caught in a compromising situation with Grenade in a car are false. She believes Grenade spread these rumors to divert attention and gain publicity.
It’s very unfortunate and sad that the industry in Uganda still has artists like Grenade that are very indisciplined, chaotic and want to fight others. Grenade has been struggling with drug addiction for sometime and I think it’s getting to his head. He attacked Rickman today… pic.twitter.com/vW9XMqB251
