Abba Marcus is nothing without Chameleon – Roger Otis

Abba Marcus, the son of Jose Chameleon and Daniella Atim has been trending on social media for coming out boldly against his own father. Several media personalities like Kasuku and Full Figure have tried to council him, but he gave them fire. At some point, Abba Marcus said, “It’s my father’s responsibility to take care of me and I didn’t ask him to give birth to us.” This drama comes after the serial accusations Daniella had been posting against the music superstar, Chameleon.

What has Abba Marcus caused to the reputation of Jose Chameleon?

The Mayanja family, known for its significant contributions to East Africa’s music scene, has found itself in the public eye for reasons other than their talent. Recent online exchanges involving Abba Marcus Mayanja, the 19-year-old son of legendary Ugandan musician Jose Chameleone, have sparked intense conversations about family dynamics, respect, and the proper way to address personal issues.

What did Abba Marcus say about Jose Chameleon?

Last week, Abba criticized his father’s lifestyle choices, blaming his deteriorating health, including a hospital admission for pancreatitis and malaria, on alcohol abuse. His comments were not just a call for accountability but also an emotional plea for fans to support Chameleone during his struggles:
“This isn’t a call to justify substance dependence, but a plea for help. We need to come together if we want to keep him in our family.”

Abba’s public remarks, however, received mixed reactions. His uncle, Weasel (Douglas Mayanja), publicly defended his brother Chameleone, urging Abba to reflect on the sacrifices his father has made:
“The person you are calling an alcoholic has funded all your education for years, taken you to the US, and bought you a home there, while still managing to cover all the bills. I love you, Abba, but please stop.”

Weasel’s response emphasized the importance of family loyalty and the challenges of understanding parental struggles from a youthful perspective. He further stated that Abba might come to appreciate his father’s efforts more deeply as he matures.

What did Roger Otis say about the way Abba Marcus has been behaving?

Adding to the conversation, Roger Otis, a notable voice on social media, posted a heartfelt message addressed to Abba. He reminded him of the weight carried by the Mayanja name and the legacy built by Chameleone:
“Without the name Mayanja, at 19 your opinion barely matters. The Mayanja face & name you carry isn’t just any name. It’s the name your dad built through both his highs and lows in the music game.”

Who is Roger Otis?

Roger Otis is a popular presenter on Galaxy FM in Uganda.

Roger Otis of Galaxy FM criticized Abba for airing family issues online, stating:
“Putting your dad’s business on the internet? Not your smartest move. All it did was get people talking about you while your dad is still going through whatever he’s going through.”

Otis urged Abba Marcus to focus on supporting his father privately, rather than turning personal matters into public content. He painted a poignant picture of Chameleone as a “lonely man reaching out,” reflecting on the legend’s transition from commanding large audiences to singing for free at local clubs.

Jose Chameleone, for his part, recently announced he would be taking a break from performing to focus on his health:
“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the promoters who have consistently believed in me and to the fans who have always shown up to support me. Unfortunately, I’ll be taking a temporary break from performing until I’ve made a full recovery.”

The unfolding Mayanja saga is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by public figures and their families. While fans and critics speculate, the heart of the matter lies in family unity and healing. As Roger Otis aptly concluded:
“The Mayanja legacy deserves better than social media drama.”

The world watches as the Mayanja family navigates this delicate chapter, hoping they find the strength to rebuild and carry forward the legacy that has inspired millions.

Chameleon’s Mother Proscovia Fires back at Abba Marcus

It seems the Mayanja family is experiencing one of its most turbulent seasons yet. While Ugandan music legend Jose Chameleone continues to receive treatment in a US hospital, a storm is brewing within the family, fueled by allegations and counter-allegations between his son, Abba Marcus Mayanja, and his grandmother, Proscovia Musoke Mayanja.

Abba, aged 20, recently took to TikTok to air his grievances against his grandparents, accusing them of being poor role models to his father. In a series of scathing comments, he alleged that they do not love Chameleone but are only interested in the money he provides.

What did Abba Marcus say about his grandparents parenting Chameleon?

Abba also accused his grandmother of failing to support Chameleone during his struggles with alcohol consumption, suggesting that her actions were partly to blame for his father’s health issues. In his most shocking claim, Abba labeled Proscovia as “evil,” asserting that she wished ill upon his mother and hoped her children would end up homeless.

These remarks have provoked a strong response from Proscovia, who did not hold back in addressing her grandson’s allegations. Speaking to a local newspaper, she described Abba’s behavior as disrespectful and immature, asserting that he lacks the wisdom to judge or criticize his elders.

What did Proscovia the grandmother of Abba Marcus say about his social media trends?

“That child should not speak negatively about his father and grandparents. He is now the problem in this family,” she remarked.

Proscovia argued that at 20, Abba is still navigating hormonal changes, which might be influencing his behavior. “My grandson should know that what he is saying annoys his father,” she added, expressing concern that Abba’s statements could worsen the family rift.

In response to the accusations of poor parenting, Proscovia emphasized her dedication to her children and grandchildren over the years. “We are mature people who took good care of him and his father. Now that he is an adult, what else does he need?” she questioned.

Is Jose Chameleon a responsible parent according to his mother or did he mess up his own life?

She also defended Chameleone, describing him as a responsible man who provides generously for his children. “As parents, we cannot keep monitoring him all the time. He is a grown man and has the right to make his own decisions. Whenever he falls sick, we are the first to take him to the hospital,” she said, citing her role in supporting Chameleone during his treatment at Nakasero Hospital.

Addressing Abba’s allegations directly, Proscovia warned, “That boy needs to get back to his senses because we also know a lot about him and his mother, but we have not said anything yet.”

The ongoing feud has left fans and observers concerned about the Mayanja family’s unity during this challenging time. While it remains to be seen whether peace will be restored, it is clear that emotions are running high, with both sides steadfast in their positions.

What is Jose Chameleon doing right now and where is he?

For now, as Chameleone focuses on his recovery, the family can only hope for reconciliation and healing, both physically and emotionally.
