By Ntambi Jimsal; Jeff and Jose Chameleone split in 2007 after strong misunderstandings regarding Radio & Weasel’s future plans under Leone Island music.
Jeff Kiwa and duo Radio & Weasel quit Jose Chameleone’s Leone Island camp forming their own ‘Nyanama boys’ that later was re-branded to ‘Goodlyfe crew’.
Six years later, Jeff Kiwa broke-up with Radio & Weasel and starting up his own crew “Team No Sleep” where he signed up Sheebah Karungi, his nemesis Jose Chameleone and Weasel’s young brother ‘AK 47’ from Leone Island music empire, and Pallaso who had just returned from the US.
This rose confusion in the Mayanja family that steamed continuous musical and bloody wars among them.
In March 2015, sad news of AK 47’s death hit the two camps (Leone Island & Team No Sleep) after being found dead in the shower rooms of Deejavu Bar, Kampala which was owned by Jeff Kiwa by-then.
This was a huge storm to the Mayanja brothers as they all pinned Jeff Kiwa responsible for their brother’s death.
A few weeks after his burial, Chameleone hit studio recording a tribute for the Late AK 47, dubbed “Tubamukwase’ where he mentioned Jeff Kiwa’s name in a provoking verse.
This forced Pallaso to also quit Jeff Kiwa’s Team No Sleep, forming his own label Team Good Music.
However, this seemed a controversy among the musical brothers as their eldest brother Humphrey Mayanja instead backed up Jeff Kiwa, rubbing him innocent in this saga.
Since then, Jeff Kiwa and the Mayanja brothers have been in guerrilla warfare, until last week when Chameleone seemed to have brought it to a climax by taking a selfie-photo with the TNS Boss.
Question is, has this ended the longtime feud between Jeff Kiwa and all the Mayanja brothers?
