Jose Chameleon’s first born son, Abba Marcus Mayanja can be best described by his father’s most current hit songs, “Superstar” and “Champion”. The teenager who once tried his luck with music, gave it up to concentrate on a swimming career, which is already proving to be a nice choice.

According to sources close to the Mayanja family, Abba has been studying off his talent for quite some time now, and Jose doesn’t have to bother with school fees anymore. Chameleone was overjoyed on picking his eldest son, who had just jetted in from Malawi from the 2018 Cana Zone IV Swimming Championships.

It is quite important to remember that the flamboyant teen also had a successful stint at Rap Music, using the stage name T-Rex. Even though Abba quit music early, his father sided with him in an interview last year.

“I always let my children choose their paths. I am a very supportive father.”

Abba’s young brother Alfa has turned out to have more passion in music

By the look of things, the younger Alfa Mayanja might turn out to be the one to follow his dad’s footsteps. But fair enough, we also pray Abba qualifies to represent Uganda in the next Olympics.
