In the video, which emerged on social media Friday, the self-proclaimed public menace, who is holding a long stick, strikes the guy four times, before he (the Boda guy) is whisked away by someone.
Musician Joseph Mayanjia, better known as Jose Chameleone, was filmed lashing a Boda Boda guy.

It is alleged that the Boda guy knocked Chameleone’s Range Rover. However, in the video someone is heard saying that the Boda man didn't hit the car.
Kampala Metropolitan Police (KMP) Spokesman Patrick Onyango and his deputy Luke Owoyesigyire said they were unaware of the incident.
After sharing the video, Owoyesigyire told this reporter via WhatsApp: "Am asking around whether the rider opened up a case."

This is not the first time Chameleone is involved in violent incidents and it is said that he always moves around with ‘goons’ which explains why the Boda guys that were around didn’t attack him when he attacked one of their own.
Boda guys rarely let such incidents pass when you attack a person they work with, especially considering it was on the streets.
It is important to note that the Badilisha singer is set to hold a concert dubbed Ggwanga Mujje on February 10.
The Leone Island Music Empire founder hasn’t held a concert in three years, so such incidents can either ruin or make it for him. But he has a history of getting away with such incidents.
As he celebrates 25 years in the music industry, Chameleone ended his 10-year contract with events promoter Balaam Barugahara in 2021 and hired Mariam Mutakubwa, known by many as Biggie, to promote the highly-anticipated show.
