“I don’t have any plans. Shifura was just a video vixen, and I don’t intend to use her again,” he said.
Given their current fallout, let's delve into who Shifura is:
Shifura is a Ugandan woman who gained widespread attention after featuring in the viral music video for the song "Hoozambe" by Ugandan artist D Star.
Her real name remains undisclosed. Her captivating and seductive eyes became the highlight, leading to the "Shifura Challenge" on social media, where people recreated the iconic scene of her sitting on D Star's lap while he sang.
