• Chameleone says he was happy when Abba Marcus Mayanja told him he was expecting a child.
• He advised his son to be responsible, provide for his family, and stay present in his child’s life.
• The singer also dismissed claims that he watched Abba’s leaked intimate videos, saying no sensible parent would do so.

Dr Jose Chameleone has revealed the advice he shared with his son Abba Marcus Mayanja, when he learned that he was expecting his first child. The music icon says his immediate reaction was one of joy.

Speaking during an appearance on NBS After 5, Chameleone revealed that while Abba is still young, he chose to support him rather than dwell on his age. The Leone Island boss said becoming a father comes with responsibility, and he used the moment to pass on lessons from his own parenting journey.

“I told him he has to be a better and responsible father—one who can provide for his child and always be present in the child’s life.”

Chameleone added that he also encouraged Abba to remain committed to his relationship if love was truly at its foundation.

“If you love each other, stay together and stand by one another because being alone is not easy.”

The singer also addressed the controversy surrounding intimate videos of Abba and his girlfriend that recently circulated on social media. Chameleone dismissed speculation that he had watched the clips, saying no sensible parent would deliberately search for such content involving their own child.

He explained that his earlier sarcastic remarks about releasing his own video were simply a joke and should not have been taken literally.

The “Valu Valu” hitmaker further noted that he pays little attention to social media discussions about his family. Instead, he uses his platforms to share what he wants the public to know before moving on.

Chameleone said he does not have the time to follow online commentary, insisting that he remains focused on his own life rather than the opinions circulating on social media.
