Jose Chameleone not happy with Musicians Federation over absence at homecoming

Ugandan musician Jose Chameleone has expressed his dissatisfaction with the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF) for not attending his homecoming party.

The singer, who returned last week from the United States after undergoing treatment, revealed that he was hurt by their absence, especially considering his role as one of the federation's founders.

Chameleone explained that he was surprised to learn the federation did not even send a representative.

Initially, he had asked his brother, Pallaso, the federation’s vice president, to convey his concerns, but Pallaso reportedly hesitated to do so. The Federation's president is Eddy Kenzo

The artist was welcomed with open arms on Saturday morning at Entebbe International Airport, where hundreds of fans, family members, and fellow artists, including Pallaso, were present to celebrate his return.

The singer had been in the US since the start of the year, receiving treatment for a gastrointestinal issue that led to surgery for pancreatitis in February.

During his three-month stay, Chameleone enjoyed moments of relaxation, including shopping sprees, with his friend Juliet Zawedde and brother Weasel Manizo by his side.

However, the journey was not without its challenges, as tensions rose in March when Weasel reportedly became frustrated and demanded to return home.
