Legendary Ugandan singer Jose Chameleone has been forced to intervene as the beef between his brother Pallaso and fellow musician Alien Skin escalates.
For the past few days, the bad blood between Pallaso and Alien has been making headlines - prompting Jose to jump in.
In his statement, the ValuValu hitmaker urged the two to pursue reconciliation and peacefully end their fight.
“As a brother to both Alien Skin and Pallaso, I urge them to pursue reconciliation and peaceful resolution of their differences. Working together is key to growing the music industry in Uganda and East Africa. So much can be achieved together than apart,” Jose Chameleone said in part.
The star went in to advise the two musicians to consider doing a joint music concert.
“I commend our patron @Mukulaa for his efforts to de-escalate the situation. I actually encourage ALIEN SKIN and PALLASO to hold a joint music concert that will be sending a powerful message of solidarity and goodwill to all Ugandans. Together, we can achieve greatness,” Jose Chameleone said.
On Wednesday, at the New Year's Day Mpele festival, Alien Skin and his group dragged Pallaso off stage and punched him.
Pallaso and his team attacked Alien Skin's residence in Makindye on Thursday, less than ten hours after the Buloba confrontation. Pallaso can be seen instructing his gang as they cause property damage in videos and photographs circulating on social media.
To avoid Pallaso's fury, Alien Skin hid under the ceiling, according to the witness, and was later seen in the video emerging after Pallaso and his party had left.
Patrick Onyango, a spokesperson for the Kampala Metropolitan Police, said that Alien Skin later filed a police report against Pallaso, alleging money theft, the destruction of five vehicles, and shattered building glasses.
According to Alien Skin, Pallaso stormed their home about 3 a.m., followed by another attack at 9:00 a.m. on the same day, causing severe property damage.
The two Alien Skin gang members who were allegedly harmed by Pallaso's crew are currently being treated at Kiruddu Hospital.
Earlier, Balaam Barugahara, Minister for Youth and Children and renowned music promoter, urged Inspector General of Police (IGP) Abbas Byakagaba to intervene before the musician confrontations escalated.
In response, the IGP's office issued severe warnings to musician gangs, stating that they are not above the law and that it is time for the authorities to take action.
