After months of medical treatment abroad, music legend Jose Chameleone is set to return home—and fellow artist Ray G is rallying Uganda to greet him in a way only true fans can.
Ray G, known for his soulful melodies and powerful vocals, has launched a bold fundraising campaign with a goal of raising Shs1 billion to honor Chameleone’s contribution to Ugandan music. The plan? Just Shs10,000 from 100,000 fans. Simple math, massive impact.
Taking to his X account, Ray G wrote:
“The Ugandan music industry thrives today because he sparked the fire. He carries the Uganda flag on every stage. Let’s give back to him with overwhelming love by raising Shs1 billion.”
The call to action is clear—and deeply emotional. Chameleone, born Joseph Mayanja, is more than a superstar. He is the backbone of Uganda’s modern music identity. From Mama Mia to Bayuda, his hits shaped generations and opened global doors for East African artists.
Ray G’s campaign isn’t just talk. He’s already reached out to MTN Uganda and Airtel Uganda, requesting mobile money codes to simplify donations and ensure secure, traceable support.
“It takes just Shs10,000 from 100,000 fans to raise 1 billion,” he emphasized. “A legend is coming back home.”
Chameleone left Uganda for the United States last year for medical treatment after a prolonged hospital stay in Kampala. Though the exact illness remains unclear, his son Abba Marcus previously hinted at substance-related struggles. Still, fans remain focused on the singer’s return and recovery—not the rumors.
His comeback is expected to trigger excitement nationwide, possibly ushering in new music, heartfelt stage performances, and a resurgence of unity within Uganda’s entertainment scene.
But this isn’t just about one artist’s homecoming. It’s about community, loyalty, and the power of music to connect hearts. The campaign reflects a deeper truth: Ugandans never forget their own.
And as Chameleone prepares to return, it seems he’ll be welcomed not just with applause—but with proof that the love he gave is still very much alive.
