Veteran Ugandan singer Jose Chameleone has strongly denied allegations circulating on social media about the paternity of one of his children, warning that he is prepared to pursue legal action against media personality Josephat Sseguya over the claims.
The dispute erupted after Sseguya, a host on a Bukedde TV gossip program, shared a Facebook post alleging that a DNA test had excluded one of Chameleone’s children. The claim quickly attracted attention online, with social media users speculating about which child was allegedly involved.
However, Chameleone has dismissed the allegation as entirely false, describing it as malicious and warning that the matter could end up before the courts.
Singer Rejects the DNA Allegation
The controversy began when Josephat Sseguya published claims on his personal Facebook account alleging that a DNA test had reportedly ruled out one of Jose Chameleone’s children.
The post spread rapidly across social media, prompting widespread speculation among internet users.
Chameleone responded publicly through his official X account, where he categorically rejected the allegation and expressed frustration over the claims.
According to the singer, the report is false and has caused him significant distress.
“I AM VERY DEVASTATED BY THIS FALSE ALLEGATION MR SEGUYA!!!!!! You might pay a very big price whilst looking for attention!!!!”
He further accused Sseguya of spreading misinformation and warned that the matter had crossed a line.
“YOU ARE SLOWLY OPENING A CAN OF WORMS. THIS NOT TRUE!!”
The musician maintained that the allegations have no factual basis.
I AM VERY DEVASTATED BY THIS FALSE ALLEGATION MR SEGUYA!!!!!! You might pay a very big price whilst looking for attention!!!! YOU ARE SLOWLY OPENING A CAN OF WORMS.

THIS NOT TRUE!!.
You have taken your Lies really far and I guess we are going to Deal with this in court!!
STOP…
Legal Action May Follow
In his statement, Chameleone suggested he is prepared to seek legal redress if the allegations continue.
He accused Sseguya of making what he described as malicious claims and called on him to stop making the allegations immediately.
“You have taken your Lies really far and I guess we are going to Deal with this in court!! STOP YOUR MALICIOUS ALLEGATIONS RIGHT NOW!!!!”
As of the information provided, there is no indication that court proceedings have been filed. Chameleone’s remarks indicate his intention to pursue legal action.
The Pop Radar has not seen any evidence accompanying the original Facebook claim, and no DNA test results were included in the information provided.
Chameleone Lists His Children
In an apparent effort to counter the rumor, Chameleone publicly listed the children he says are his biological children.
According to his statement, they are:
- Aidah Mayanja
- Abba Mayanja
- Alpha Mayanja
- Alba Mayanja
- Ama Christian Mayanja
- Zari Amani Mayanja
- Anna Mayanja
The singer questioned which child Sseguya was referring to, reiterating that the allegation was untrue.
His response appeared aimed at ending the speculation that had spread online following the Facebook post.
Why the Story Is Drawing Attention
Claims involving celebrity families often generate widespread discussion on social media, particularly when they concern sensitive personal matters such as paternity.
However, allegations of this nature can have serious reputational consequences, making accuracy and responsible reporting especially important.
In this case, Chameleone has publicly denied the allegation and described it as false. At the time of publication, the claim referenced in Sseguya’s Facebook post has not been substantiated by any evidence included in the source material.
The disagreement also raises broader questions about the responsibility of public figures and media personalities when sharing unverified claims on social media.
Human Angle
For Jose Chameleone, the controversy extends beyond celebrity gossip.
His public response suggests he views the allegation as a deeply personal matter involving his children and family. Rather than ignoring the rumor, he chose to respond directly, firmly denying the claim and signaling that he is willing to defend his reputation through legal channels if necessary.
Whether the dispute proceeds to court remains to be seen, but for now, Chameleone’s position is unequivocal: he says the DNA allegation is false and has warned that further legal steps could follow.
As the story develops, attention will likely turn to whether either party takes further action following Chameleone’s public denial and legal warning.
