Rule 3: Coin Toss The first performer, either Sheebah Karungi or Cindy Sanyu, will be decided by a coin toss. This decision will be carried out by their respective managers or handlers.
Rule 4: Stage Barriers Barriers have been strategically installed on the stage to maintain a clear separation between the two artists. These barriers will create a controlled environment for their performances.
