Long-time media personality, music analyst as well as events manager Edward Ssendikadiwa, popularly known as Eddie Sendi has named a list of twenty (20 ) artists who should kneel while greeting Jose Chameleone. He based his list on the reasoning that Jose chameleone, real name Mayanja Joseph is the greatest singer of his generation.
A few days ago, Chamuka Tv presenter was filmed claiming that Ugandan musicians who do not have five hit song on their catalogue should always go down to their knees while greeting Chameleone. The clip went viral and it has since created differing opinions from the public.
While moderating his weekly Talk and Talk Show on Saturday, May 4, Isaac Katende alias Kasuku asked sendi if he agreed with the presenter's opinion.
With no single minute of hesitation Sendi proposed the presenter’s suggestion and this prompted a session where the co-hosts would mention a singer and asked him if they belong the category of 'kneelers'
