Jose Chameleone has traversed and led the East and Central African music scene for over a decade now.
Through all that time he has been among the leading and richest artists in the region. However the rise, influence and corresponding affluence of Diamond Platinumz has seen the artiste fade from the hallowed prominence especially in media and awards. However, Jose Chameleone does not feel or recognize Diamond Platinumz as the big artist he is because according to him he still holds the East African mantle.
For him, Diamond Platinumz is an overrated artist’s much big in the studio and social media and on hype. Jose Chameleone was speaking in Uganda’s NTV The Beat where he is quoted saying,
“There is a difference between a TV musician and a Stage musician. Diamond is not so big as many of you think despite being famous on social media platforms like Instagram. When he came to Uganda, he was just in Club Guvnor. He can’t stage a sold out show by himself in Uganda unlike me who can fill stadiums in Tanzania (Diamond Platinumz’ country),”
