Tonny Lubega, one of Uganda’s biggest performers in the early 2000s, is dissatisfied with Jose Chameleone, who allegedly poked light of his current circumstances.
Lubega, known professionally as Red Banton, says he was disheartened when he found the Leone Island boss making fun of him in a bar.
In the early 2000s, Banton of ‘Nonya Money’ and ‘Sijja Kuva Kampala’ fame says he helped create Chameleone carrier, giving him housing and having his songs played on radio stations.
However, he claims that the Valu Valu singer made fun of him in front of his pals at a bar lately.“I found him at a bar in Mengo and he said, ‘Imagine that guy used to be my boss!’” Banton told Bukedde TV’s Josephat Seguya in an interview on Tuesday, July 4.”
“The way he said that, it was with contempt and in a joking tone. How can you say something like that? Why didn’t he mention my mattress he used to sleep on. It was very disrespectful, implying that I should not be looking the way I look.”
Nonya Money, Bagala Alina, Pony Tail, Speed 180, Kakoona, and Balogo were among Banton’s most successful songs in the early 2000s.
But now that his popularity and career are behind him, Banton says he doesn’t mind being lower than the people he trained.
In truth, he claims that he has never approached Chameleone to ask for assistance, but that he “felt bad” about his remarks.
