Uganda’s music heavy weight Dr. Jose Chameleon of the Leone Island was beaten by angry music fans in Luweero district and his nose oozed blood.

The revelers who had turned up for Chameleon’s Valu Valu concert yesterday night at Bukenya Foundation Hall in Luweero accused the singer for arriving late at the show.

When Chameleon arrived late the revelers shouted “why have you come late you man, do you want to take us for a right,” they chorused as others shouted let us lynch him this time. Chameleon who was scheduled to arrive at the show at 3: pm arrived at midnight.

The problem worsened when power went off immediately when the singer jumped on stage to apologise. One of the revelers threw an empty bottle of beer and it hit part of his nose.

The nose oozed blood and Chameleon shouted loudly that ‘boxers save me.’ The revelers broke the seats, and destroyed the lights among other items as Chameleon flew away for safety.

Dr. Jose Chameleon’s phone was up for grabs and Judith Heard and Zari were each eager to take it at a pay. The MC was Salvado and MC Kats.

Kats and Salvado announced that Chameleon’s phone was up for grabs and immediately Judith Heard picked the microphone and offered pounds 2000 as the total price she was willing to buy the phone. Zari had earlier noted that Judith Heard did not have the money in cash so Zari asked if Judith Heard was to make a cheque or pay in case because on her part she was ready to pay the full amount in cash.

Judith heard reportedly became furious. She reportedly threw the microphone away and Zari picked it. We are told that Judith Heard called Zari a bitch.

Singer M Jeff told the press that he released the song two weeks before Juliana duplicated his song. However when Juliana was asked by informers about the development, she said that some of the upcoming artists have a habit of claiming that well established singers have stolen their songs in order to make themselves also popular.

E Sanyu Lyange hit for Juliana was written by gospel artist, Silver Kyagulanyi while M Jeff’s version was composed by Omulangila Ssuna.

Juliana says that she is not the first one small artists are targeting to get known, other singers like Dr. Jose Chameleon have been targeted before. She says that recently an upcoming singer, Jenkins Mukasa accused Chameleone of stealing his Valu Valu.
