Musician Jose Chameleone has finally spoken out on allegations that he beat up Club Guvnor’s DJ Bryan. He has denied the allegations and shared his side of the story in a long statement posted on social media. Read it below.
“ATTENTION: Uganda got an interesting society in every business. From politics to the last part of community and its tales of envy, selfishness will never end!! That explains why we stay behind in very many activities and later blame the unnecessary.
At the end of August 2016, I was requested by Mr. Charlie Lubega a Friend, Inspirational Big brother and Owner of Club Guvnor to grace the Legends night of September 2016. We both agreed on the date 27th September 2016. I then asked him to ask his Club Dj’s to keep my music on rotation to activate the anticipated night.
On the next weekend I passed the club to see how it was going and I realized we had different interests – Me, The club owner and the Djays who notoriously didn’t play not even a second of my music. That’s when I sighted failure of coordination hence I pulled out.
Another Club owner of the new ” Establishment Club” came to me asking me to be the star to open and launch his Club same month. As a business man I took his offer and did a great job which hasn’t gone down well with the neighbouring Club Guvnor!!
This sent them into panic and eventually one of its DJs found me and my friends in Club Play as I took a few friends out. He came and tried to reason with me telling me how Guvnor will start a war with me since I worked with its neighbouring Establishment. The argument heated and I asked him why they have the right to work with Different other artistes and I can’t work with other clubs as if I am married to them!!!!! We argued a lot but none of us was physical. Their DJ went back to Guvnor, Made a false report and after it didn’t pay, he has steered his selfish interest and shared it with more Dj’s around to validate his ego.
I wish to put this very clear that whosoever believes in such manner is not supporting a positive revolution to grow music beyond boundaries but using selfishness.We are all business men in a similar trade where if you don’t give respect to one you will never take none.
You have played and depended on artistes music free of charge for so many years and internally failed copyright. Why don’t you use the same Platform and tactics to demand for FairPlay and royalties every time artistes music is played.
I personally got fed up of negativity and now act accordingly to redeem our music and the unheard voices of upcoming and existing talent.”
