Ugandan musician Chameleone is reportedly in critical condition.

Ugandan music icon Jose Chameleone is reportedly in a critical condition, sparking concern among fans and supporters. A now-deleted post shared by an administrator of his social media pages revealed the gravity of his situation and called for prayers from the public.

The message expressed gratitude to fans for their support and acknowledged the efforts of Nakasero Hospital in providing professional care. It urged netizens to stay strong and continue praying for the singer’s recovery. “We appreciate all the prayers and well wishes for Chameleone as he battles a critical condition. Let us keep him in our thoughts and prayers. We also extend our gratitude to Nakasero Hospital for their dedication,” the post read.

The post also cautioned against individuals seeking to visit Chameleone for personal content or publicity. It emphasized that only genuine fans and close friends would be allowed access. “This is not an opportunity for self-serving interests. True supporters and friends of Chameleone are welcome, but others will not gain access. Prayers are far more valuable than negativity. Get well soon, Joseph,” the statement concluded.

This update came shortly after videos surfaced showing the singer being taken to the hospital on a stretcher, visibly unwell. These events followed an earlier official statement from Chameleone’s management, which assured fans that he is receiving excellent medical care and expressed optimism about his recovery.

The management’s statement read: “To all Leone Island Music Empire fans and well-wishers, we understand your concern about Jose Chameleone’s hospitalization. Rest assured, he is in the best hands and receiving top-notch medical attention. We are confident in his recovery and deeply appreciate your love, prayers, and support during this time.”

The statement also appealed for privacy as the family navigates this difficult period, promising to keep fans updated while encouraging them to send positive vibes and prayers. “Let us unite in sending love and prayers to Chameleone. We believe he will recover and continue to inspire us with his music. #GetWellChameleone #PrayersForChameleone,” the statement added.

Concerns over Chameleone’s health have been ongoing since 2023, when he faced a prolonged illness. Earlier this year, the singer’s family endured another tragedy with the passing of his elder brother, Humphrey Mayanja, who succumbed to cancer in May. Chameleone had shared a heartfelt tribute to his brother online, leading fans to offer their condolences.

As the musician continues to battle his current health challenges, fans and supporters across the globe remain hopeful for his swift recovery.
