During the sold-out King Saha's "Ebiseera Ebyo" concert, fans quickly became a hotheaded with emotions, with one notable incident stealing the limelight when two titans of Ugandan music, Jose Chameleone and Bobi Wine exchanged a bitter attitude.

The air was thick with anticipation as Saha's concert went down, with artists showering praise on the special guest of the evening, Bobi Wine. However, amidst the cheers and harmonies, Jose Chameleone, the legendary Afrobeat artist, took a different note.

Jose Chameleone's cold shoulder towards Bobi Wine could be traced back to the political battlegrounds of the 2021 general elections. Allegedly, Chameleone's frosty reception stemmed from a perceived snub – a lack of a National Unity Platform (NUP) ticket for his mayoral ambitions.

Chameleone, unyielding in his stance, chose a rather unorthodox approach, delaying his acknowledgment of Bobi Wine's presence until the final strains of his performance, before briskly exiting the venue.

The incident unleashed a torrent of discussions within the fan base and industry circles alike. Supporters lauded Chameleone for standing his ground, applauding his commitment to principle, while critics questioned the timing and venue chosen for such a display of personal grievances.

Despite the political undercurrents and high-profile tensions, the "Ebiseera Ebyo" Concert managed to etch its name in the annals of memorable events. The clash of personalities added a layer of intrigue to an already unforgettable night, leaving fans buzzing with excitement and curiosity about what the future holds for these two musical powerhouses.
