Charles Peter Mayiga, The Katikkiro of Buganda, has expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the recent episodes of violent conflict involving the musicians Alien Skin and Pallaso.
The dispute commenced during the Enkuuka festival of the Buganda Kingdom on December 31, and later intensified during the Empere festival in Entebbe. It even extended to Alien Skin’s residence in Kampala.
During a meeting with singer Spice Diana in preparation for her forthcoming concert, he expressed disapproval of the conflicts, stressing that artists should prioritize their artistic skills instead of engaging in physical altercations, which he deemed as unproductive and harmful.
“It is unacceptable for artists to engage in fights. I know both Patrick Mulwana, alias Alien Skin, and Pius Mayanja, known as Pallaso. They should have come to me before the situation escalated; I would have mediated and helped resolve the issue peacefully,” Charles Peter Mayiga remarked.
The Katikkiro also stated his readiness to intervene and facilitate the process of reconciliation between the two musicians.
He implored artists to actively pursue peaceful resolutions in resolving their conflicts, emphasizing that resorting to violence not only damages their reputation but also obstructs their professional development.
