Abba Marcus delivered several striking statements as he addressed criticism for publicly discussing his father, Jose Chameleone's, health issues and revealing certain challenges within their extended family.
His response targeted key media personalities and celebrities, including Kasuku, his uncle Weasel Manizo, Eddie Sendi, Full Figure, and Andrew Mukasa, also known as Bajjo.
Speaking about Full Figure, whose real name is Jennifer Nakangubi, Marcus said: “I’m dumbfounded that a woman like her is given a platform... in the most respectful way, she is clearly uneducated... she has nothing sensible to say.
"You can tell she doesn’t genuinely care; she’s just opening her mouth and saying nothing.”

Full Figure had accused Marcus's mother, Daniella Atim, and her children of contributing to Chameleone’s health decline. She also questioned what Marcus himself had done to improve his father’s condition.
In response, Marcus revealed that, despite his mother’s advice to avoid going public, he chose to speak out. He dismissed Full Figure entirely, asserting that her opinions lacked any merit for serious consideration. Additionally, he called for her dismissal, along with whoever hired her.
Turning to Bajjo, Marcus remarked that the promoter is “not intellectually there,” further criticising his inability to articulate points effectively. Marcus expressed frustration with Ugandans who provide platforms to individuals like Bajjo, stating: “As Ugandans, we need to do better.”
Regarding Weasel, Marcus suggested that his uncle’s public statements were driven by guilt. He also criticised Eddie Sendi for assuming he had not attempted to resolve family matters privately before going public.
Some of Marcus's notable quotes included:
“Raising your kid is your responsibility and the bare minimum, no one needs to be applauded for that.”
“Paying school fees and meeting a child’s basic needs are fundamental responsibilities of parents, not achievements that require applause. The real praise belongs to those who put in the effort to raise responsible, and well-rounded children, as that is no small task.”
“The quickest way to know a person isn’t intellectually up there, is if they have to yell to make their point.”
“Both Full Figure and the person who hired her to be on TV need to be fired.”“We have a lot of uneducated people on platforms that inspire young people.”
