Chameleone’s video has come under criticism

Singer Jose
Chameleone has once again opened up on his struggles with music while starting
out saying many established turned him down.
He particularly mentioned Kenyan artistes claiming they denied him
collabos.
Through a
long Instagram post, he recounted how in the early 2000s he was ignored until
he broke through on his own with ‘Mama Mia’ in 2001. From then he stated that
he has made it a habit to give upcoming artistes collaborations to kickstart
their careers.
“As a
consistent brand of Jose Chameleone the Music man I can hardly forget how hard
to break through was. I approached so many existing artistes of that time in
the 2000s to give me a shot by collaborating with me but it became impossible
until I did it on my Own with the monster Mama Mia song. Since then, I have been
honest to so many upcoming musicians by giving them at least a collabo to
kickstart their careers,” he wrote.
When
Chameleone left Uganda for Nairobi, he hoped to collaborate with the then one
of Kenya’s hottest hiphop outfits, Kalamashaka but the group turned him down
despite having promised to feature him on their album. It was until he met
Kenyan singer Redsan to record ‘Bageya’ in 2000 that his career started.
