Ugandan music legend Jose Chameleone has finally opened up about the decision to reschedule his highly anticipated concert that was originally set for September 5th, explaining why he chose to give way to rising star Fik Fameica.
In a candid TikTok video posted earlier today, Chameleone addressed fans directly, clarifying the reasons behind the unexpected change. He emphasized his love and passion for Ugandan music, stressing that the industry thrives when artists support each other rather than compete.
“I represent Ugandan music passionately,” Chameleone said. “When business is there, the artist must be paid what they work for. Everyone deserves to earn from what they do. More importantly, I love Ugandan music to move forward.”
The decision came after realizing that his concert date clashed with that of Fik Fameica, who is scheduled to perform at Lugogo on the same day. Rather than cause a divide among fans or split the audience, Chameleone chose to reschedule his event to avoid being “greedy” or unappreciative of the years of support he has received.
“Fik Fameica is the next generation—a very talented artist, a star,” Chameleone noted. “If I had gone on with my show at Kololo Airstrip while Fik had his at Lugogo, it would have been unfair.”
The clash of concert dates had sparked discussions among music lovers and industry insiders, with many curious about how the two leading artists would handle the situation. Chameleone’s choice to step back has been praised by fans and peers alike, viewing it as a gesture of humility and respect for upcoming talent.
Beyond the concert rescheduling, Chameleone’s message highlights a broader call for unity within the Ugandan music industry, encouraging established artists to mentor and support emerging ones to grow the local scene collectively.
He urged his fans to support Fik Fameica’s concert on September 5th, highlighting the importance of unity in the Ugandan music scene.
“I told my friends we shall put the show on another date. It will remain a show. So, let all my fans support Fik Fameica on the 5th of September,” he concluded.
Chameleone’s concert date will be announced soon, and fans are eagerly awaiting updates. Meanwhile, Fik Fameica’s show promises to be a major event, adding to the excitement building across the country’s vibrant
