The 2021 ASEAs were virtual with recognitions passed out through social media.
Uganda was represented by Zari Hassan and Sheilah Gashumba who were nominated in different categories but faced off in the Influencer of the Year category and fans had to vote for whom they thought was a better influencer this year.
Shelia, a controversial and care-free Tweep, socialite, and influencer was tough to ignore with an advantage of being the youngest nominee in the hugely contested for category on the night.
In the end, it was Rickman’s babe with the crown of Influencing. She faced continental competition from the likes of Nelisiwe Sibiya, Hillary Makaya, Zim Finest Lips, and Zim Laughter.
