UGANDAN superstar Jose Chameleone has rubbished reports that he has joined a cult and labelled those linking him to occult practices as “very stupid and ignorant rumour mongers.”
In the recent past, rumours have been doing rounds that the singer had joined 'Illuminati' for more wealth and fame. The allegations were especially heightened by the mysterious death of his brother, Emmanuel Mayanja aka AK47, in March. After the death, it was said that Chameleone had sacrificed his brother to the cult. This was after a controversial video of him (Chameleone) emerged online, where he was depicted cutting off one of his fingers and sucking the blood.
However, in an exclusive interview with Word Is on Wednesday, the Wale Wale hitmaker rubbished the claims, saying he is neither a member of any cult nor has no plans of joining one.
“I don't know what Illuminati is. That video you saw was an act of magic. I had met a very good friend of mine called Bernard. He is a magician from Switzerland. He was taking me through some magic lessons and the video was nothing serious. It was just a mere magic trick,” he said.
He added, “Africa is very talented but we have a very ignorant society that is keeping us behind. To be honest with you, how can you sacrifice your brother for wealth? I don't call myself an average African. I am a successful African man. An average African lives on a wage. I am above wage. What else can I ask for in this life. So, in my own language, those are just very stupid and ignorant people.”
