Abba Marcus Mayanja, the son of singer Jose Chameleone, has revealed that his father is currently battling acute pancreatitis, a condition that has left him bedridden in recent days.
In a live TikTok broadcast, Marcus shared that the illness is a result of Chameleone’s prolonged and excessive alcohol consumption.
Addressing public scrutiny, Marcus made it clear that his mother should not be blamed for his father’s condition. He called for empathy and support, urging people to understand the complexities of the situation.
Reflecting on his family’s struggles, Marcus connected his father’s challenges to the hardships faced by his late uncles, suggesting that the lack of responsible guidance from previous generations had played a role in their difficulties. He pointed out the crucial role that parental responsibility or the lack thereof—has in shaping a family’s future.
Marcus expressed disappointment over what he perceived as the indifference of Chameleone’s extended family. He emphasized his father’s significant role in shaping their family’s legacy, lamenting how the focus has often been on his father’s material contributions rather than his well-being.
With doctors warning of severe consequences if his father’s alcohol consumption continues, Marcus made an emotional plea for collective action to help Chameleone overcome both his addiction and his ongoing health struggles.
Amid his frustration, Abba Marcus was candid about his feelings toward his father, expressing how Chameleone’s decisions have affected not just his own life, but the entire family.
