In a shocking turn of events, musician Pallaso, allegedly accompanied by a gang, attacked the home of fellow singer Alien Skin in Kisungu Zone, Makindye, Kampala, in a retaliatory act that has sent shockwaves through the Ugandan music scene. The incident, which unfolded early on January 2, 2025, has prompted swift investigations by Kampala Metropolitan Police.
Police spokesperson Patrick Onyango confirmed the attack, stating that Pallaso’s group arrived armed with pangas, hammers, and stones, wreaking havoc on Alien Skin’s property. Following a dispute between the two artists during a performance in Buloba, Wakiso District, tensions escalated into violence. The gang reportedly damaged five vehicles, destroyed windows of three houses, and stole approximately 6 million shillings.
Authorities were alerted to the scene, and Makindye Police Station responded quickly, repelling the attackers during the first strike. However, a second attack in the morning left significant destruction, with several individuals, including Joseph Nyanzi, Julius Mugabi, and Becker, suffering injuries and being treated at Mengo Hospital.
Shortly after the incident, Pallaso took to his Twitter account, stating that Alien Skin should relocate to another residence.
This violent incident underscores the growing trend of aggression and rivalries among Ugandan musicians, raising concerns about safety and professionalism in the industry. The police have appealed to the public for any additional information to aid in the investigation.
Pallaso has also hit the studio and recorded a new hit accusing Alien Skin of reporting to the Police in the wake of the attacks.
