CHAMELEONE ATTACKS MEDIA

Jose Chameleone’s Mukisa Gwo album launch on Friday was more than launching songs; the controversial singer also launched attacks on the two leading dailies. Chameleone was not happy that Daily Monitor did not give him prominent pre-event coverage for his concert.

The singer took time off and mentioned names of scribes whom he thought had ignored giving his concert pre-event coverage to his fans who welcomed his tantrums with wild cheers. The singer bragged that by not writing about his concert, the media houses were retarding the Ugandan music industry. “I’ve done everything, I’m no longer looking for fame.

I don’t doubt my fan base, these people are not here because of stories, they are here because of the love they have for Chameleone. If you think you can destroy me, be rest assured, even if an elephant died of HIV/Aids, it could never have shrinked to the size of a dog!” A fan near the photographers in the VIP section screamed out a question; “How come you never tell us when they write good about you?” That’s a question only Chameleone can answer.

Besides the attack on the media, Chameleone reminded the crowd about his efforts towards getting Ugandans to appreciate Ugandan music. Back to the show, Chameleone performed for about two hours, mainly focusing on his 2010 and 2011 songs, like Owakabi, Movie Star with AK 47, plus duets with Papa Cidy, Jackie and Eritrean Sammy. After performing Mukisa Gwo the album title track, most revellers stood up to leave, but Chameleone announced, “If you came for the launch, it just ended, but if you came for music, I’m now starting to sing.”

The singer observed a moment of silence for departed comedian Jimmy Musisi who died earlier last week, before he resumed his performances, this time round taking the crowd back in time with songs ranging from his breakthrough hit Beyi Kali before he was joined by his mother on stage as he sang Maama Wange.

Before Chameleone got on stage, Ronald Mayinja, AK47, Skeleton, Raga Dee, Eddie Kenzo, Catherine Kusasira and Big Eye entertained the revelers with exhilarating performances. The show ended a few minutes after midnight and many revelers went home wondering why Chameleone had to attack the media that has helped sell him and the entire industry to them-his fan base.

WHEN QUTE JOINS ISLAM...

When Sulaiman Sekamate turned Muslim, he said he just loved the religion, although we associated it with his new catch. When Ragga Dee appeared at the goat races in a Muslim outfit, we started sniffing around. But before we got something, Qute Kaye dropped a surprise. The Ginkese star has converted to Islam and changed his name to Akram. What baffles us is nobody is able to put a finger on why he has decided to change religion.

CONCERTS POSTPONED IN UGANDA

Following twin bomb blasts at Kyadondo rugby club and Ethiopian village in Kansaga that claimed over 80 lives in Kampala last Sunday, several concerts have been cancelled as more threats still come in. The Ragga Dee-Megga Dee battle was slated to take place on the 16th of this month, then Kenzo’s launch due on the 23rd, D’Banj and 2Face visit to Uganda courtesy of Talent 256 on the 30th, and Desire next month.
All the above mentioned concerts have been postponed till the country becomes safe ounce again.
According to security enforcers in the pearl, hang outs and gathering places which are the main targets have to be closed by at least 10pm to prevent those responsible for last week’s attacks get the opportunity of repeating the same callous act.
“Ugandans have to be vigilant as the current situation is threatening. For security purposes, most of the concerts have been cancelled until the situation is back to normal.” Kayihura said.
Ragga Dee has pushed his concert on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of December so as to mourn with those who lost their beloved ones. The venues, curtain raisers, sponsors and charges still remain the same for his shows. 
“On arrival at the airport from my European tour, I was welcomed with the sad news about last Sunday’s blasts and immediately, I postponed my concert to December.” Ragga Dee said.

REDSAN STILL HIRING WHEELS

Whereas his Ugandan peers like Chameleon ,Ragga Dee, Peter Miles and even Ghetto monster Bobi Wine are rolling in fuel guzzlers,Redsan is still hiring whips. And the dancehall musician Redsan lies at times. According to sources, Redsan hired a Range Rover Sport car he used at the Safaricom Sevens, held early this month. He went to Subru Motors,a Nairobi car hire company where our sources confirmed that he hired the monster wheel. Worse is the dancehall star bargained but the management refused to back down until he paid the full amount which was Kshs. 20000 ($300). So if you saw him in the wheels,know he just hired it.
