Jose Chameleone is one of the music icons that have graced the Ugandan music industry.  All his brothers; Pallaso, Weasel, the late AK47, joined the music industry after seeing how successful he was in the industry.

His young brother, Weasel Manizzo refused to continue with his higher education and chose music instead. He started out as back-up singer, and it was from Leone Island that he met his music partner the late Radio Mowzey, and together they broke away from the label and started their own, Goodlyfe crew in 2008.

Weasel in an interview, revealed that his brother is a legend who helped him a lot with his struggling career.

In a video shared on his social media, Weasel revealed he would not be where he is, had it not be for Chameleone.

 "If it was not for Jose Chameleone, I would be carrying luggage in Kikuubo. If it was not for Chameleone, you would not have known Radio, King Saha. If it was not for him, we would still be listening to Lingala music,” he said.

He further noted that he is an icon in the music industry, also giving props to fellow artistes Bobi Wine and Bebe Cool who have been pillars in the music industry for the past 20 years.

"He brought the Ugandan music industry from a far. Not only he him but together with his brothers; Bobi Wine and Bebe Cool. I want to credit them because I've grown up from a music family and I've seen their struggles. They come in taxis and jump out without paying, or when they have been attacked by thieves of their way."

"Just like they liberated Uganda, Jose Chameleone has saved us from many things like Lingala Music. He showed us a way forward, something we have followed,” he said.

According to Weasel, young artistes like Ykee Benda, Feffe bussi and others, have watched Jose Chameleone while growing up and they have been inspired.

"What I will never forget, before he met Bebe Cool, we were listening to music and Jose Chameleone told me the day he would get a chance to sing with Bebe Cool, would be an important day. So he woke up and decided to go to Nairobi and join Bebe Cool. You can achieve whatever you dream and focus on," he added.

About reports that they fight a lot as brothers, Weasel said it is a common practice among siblings.

"Things happen everywhere so our family is not different. Siblings fight but solve their differences. That is why we have elders to solve these issues,” Weasel opined.
