Bamunoba also addressed the violent altercation that occurred between Pallaso and Alien Skin, which resulted in significant property damage but no serious injuries. “I urged Pallaso to focus on his talent and promote peaceful conflict resolution within the industry rather than violence,” Bamunoba wrote.
The feud between Pallaso and Alien Skin escalated when Pallaso attacked Alien’s base in Makindye on January 2nd, citing frustration with the authorities’ inaction in dealing with repeated assaults by Alien Skin’s gang.
Pallaso explained in an interview with Sanyuka TV that his decision was influenced by the struggles of his friend Eva, who was beaten and failed to get justice despite numerous attempts through the legal system.
Pallaso claimed that after witnessing Eva’s ordeal, he could not afford to be another victim.
“I did not want to be victimised like her,” he said, explaining why he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Following the incident, the police and government officials intervened to mediate between Pallaso and Alien Skin.
The authorities successfully facilitated a reconciliation but also introduced new measures to prevent further violence in the music industry.
One of the key restrictions included banning musicians from travelling with more than five people to reduce the likelihood of violent clashes.
