Ugandan musician Pallaso has stated that he will not take sides in the ongoing feud between his uncle, Jose Chameleone, and fellow musician King Saha. In a recent interview, Pallaso emphasized that despite being related to Chameleone, he has the right to make his own decisions. This comes after rumors speculated that Pallaso could potentially intervene to ease tensions between the two musicians. Pallaso's decision was revealed on November 10, 2026.

The feud between King Saha and Jose Chameleone has been ongoing for some time, with both musicians exchanging public remarks. On November 7, 2026, Chameleone announced that he would not change the format of his upcoming concert, 'Chameleone Unlimited', to match King Saha's style. This move further fueled the rivalry between their fans on social media, with some expressing concerns that the conflict could lead to renewed tensions between Pallaso and King Saha.

Pallaso and King Saha have a history of animosity, with their disputes occasionally turning violent. Earlier this year, their rivalry culminated in a physical altercation at a nightclub in Kampala. Although the two musicians have attempted to resolve their differences through various means, the situation remains unresolved. Pallaso stressed that his relationship with Chameleone does not obligate him to get involved in his uncle's conflicts with others.

The ongoing feud has sparked significant interest among fans and followers, with many taking to social media to express their opinions. Chameleone is set to perform at the 'Chameleone Unlimited' concert on December 4, 2026, at Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala. The event aims to celebrate over 25 years of Chameleone's music career, with the musician expected to perform alongside his fans.

Pallaso's decision to remain neutral in the feud has been seen as a strategic move, given his own history with King Saha. By choosing not to take sides, Pallaso aims to maintain a positive relationship with both parties. This move also highlights Pallaso's growth as an artist, with the musician increasingly focusing on his solo career.

The 'Chameleone Unlimited' concert is expected to draw a large crowd, with fans and music enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the event. Chameleone's decision to hold the concert has been seen as a bold move, given the ongoing tensions with King Saha. Nevertheless, the event is likely to be a significant milestone in Chameleone's career, marking a quarter-century of contributions to the music industry.

As the music scene in Uganda continues to evolve, the rivalry between King Saha and Jose Chameleone remains a major talking point. Pallaso's decision to stay out of the feud has been met with mixed reactions, with some fans praising his maturity and others criticizing his reluctance to take a stance. Ultimately, the ongoing feud serves as a reminder of the complex relationships within the Ugandan music industry.
