It is alleged that the musician was allegedly suffering from alcohol addiction

Chameleone was first hospitalized in Uganda late last year before being transferred to the U.S. for further care. During that time, his son Abba Marcus publicly expressed concern over his father's health and well-being.

In a heartfelt TikTok video, Abba revealed his father had been struggling with alcohol addiction, which contributed to his noticeable weight loss. He also defended his mother against online backlash.

“My father struggles with alcohol addiction and has been for a while now, hence the weight loss that people have been talking about. It completely disheartens me when I see the internet bashing my mother, making her the cause of everything. I am here to tell you that is completely false. My mother has nothing to do with it,” he said.

He continued: “Never in my life have I ever seen unconcerned parents that are so careless about their children’s well-being. In this case, I am talking about my father’s parents. So far, I have already lost two uncles because of complete irresponsibility. Honestly, I don’t even want to be called their grandchild because I don’t want any association with them. Nobody would know who the Mayanjas were if it wasn’t for my father.”

In December, Chameleone gave his fans an update about his health, sharing a message of gratitude as he spent Christmas in recovery.

“This festive season marks a first for me—spending it away from the stage and all of you, my beloved fans. Unfortunately, my hospitalization has disrupted our annual tradition of celebrating together through music.

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. I’ll be taking a temporary break from performing until I’ve made a full recovery.

I’m deeply thankful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and well-wishes from my fans, friends, and family. I also appreciate the exceptional care I received from Nakasero Hospital.

A special thank you to my dear friend Juliet Zawedde, who selflessly sacrificed her holiday to accompany me to the United States for further treatment.

To everyone who has stood by me, I thank you. I will return stronger and better, God willing.”

Now back in Uganda, Chameleone is set to headline a major show, marking his official return to the spotlight.
