The iconic Shalom Rapperz. Wordz; Anthony WoodsAfter writing the Chameleone story and how his show in Amsterdam almost flopped, I mentioned his back up artist as being called AK47 (as in the Kalashnikov rifle). However, 3 people contacted me because they thought I had actually made up that name. So I decided to carry out some research on other Ugandan artists who have renamed themselves all sorts of names, to avoid more questions.
I could not find the Ugandan names for most artists as the newspapers and magazines use only their stage names. I welcome any other additions or comments. I researched for the names from the websites of the New Vision, the Monitor and Music Uganda. There was no particular order I followed.
1. Joseph Mayanja stage name; Jose Chameleone
2. Douglas Mayanja AKA Weasel ma weasel TV
