Jose Chameleone Claims Isabirye Defrauded Him of UGX 250 Million in TV Station Deal

Ugandan music veteran Jose Chameleone has found himself at the center of a financial controversy after publicly accusing a man named Isabirye of fraud. The Leone Island boss claims he lost a staggering UGX 250 million in a botched deal aimed at setting up his long-awaited television station, Leone Island TV.

The singer opened up about the ordeal during a live TikTok broadcast alongside fellow artist Bruno K. According to Chameleone, he trusted Isabirye with the substantial capital to establish the station’s headquarters in Makindye. However, the heavy investment failed to materialize into a fully functioning broadcast channel.

Instead of a fully licensed television station, Chameleone stated that he only received a temporary test signal from the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC). He alleged that the crucial licensing process was never finalized despite repeated assurances from Isabirye, leaving him empty-handed.

“I started Leone Island Television in Makindye, but someone stole from me after I gave him UGX 250 million,” Chameleone shared during the live session. He firmly pointed fingers at Isabirye, accusing him of making empty promises and ultimately robbing him of his hard-earned investment.

At the time of reporting, Isabirye had not yet responded to the serious allegations, and the claims remain unverified independently. For more details on this developing story, read the original report on Howwe Entertainment.
