Musician Jose Chameleone’s wife Daniella Atim has asked for divorce citing fear for her life amid reports that she is secretly linked to city socialite Charles Oryemu popularly known as Sipapa.
In a petition lodged in the Nakawa Chief Magistrate’s Court yesterday, Daniela, through her lawyers Okurut and Company Advocates, accuses Chameleone of being violent for over four years now.
According to court documents, a copy of which is in our possession, Daniela says that all had been well with the couple that is even blessed with four children; Abba Mayanja, 11, Alfa Mayanja, 8, Alba Mayanja, 4 and Amama Mayanja, 3.
However, hell broke loose in 2013 when Chameleone started beating her for no reason every time he returned home, she says, adding that since 2013, she does not sleep at night for fear of being killed by the ‘Valu Valu’ singer who often returns home very drunk.
But despite court acknowledging receiving the divorce application, Chameleone maintains everything between him and his wife is okay.
“What God put together, no man shall put apart! We are not Angels so no one is perfect. It’s not the times a man falls that matter, it’s his strength to stand again. Love you so much Daniella regardless of what is spreading around we stuck together so they should know. There shall be NO DIVORCE as reported,” he vowed a few hours back.
Initially, the rift between Jose Chameleone and Daniela was exposed a few weeks back by his friend Sipapa, when the latter claimed the couple was no longer staying together.
Apparently this is after Daniela asked for Shs200,000 from Sipapa’s girlfriend. But since she too didn’t have it, she asked Sipapa who then sent the money to her. Chameleone is said to have got wind of this and became suspicious that there was something happening between the two and that’s how Chameleone fell out with both Daniela and Sipapa.
But as soon as the allegations started making rounds, Chameleone came out and maintained the two were still together. In a live Facebook video, he recorded himself handing over flowers to Daniela like to prove everything between the two was well.
Chameleone and Daniella wedded in 2008 at St. James Bbiina, Mutungo a Kampala suburb. Daniella once threatened to divorce Chameleone in 2012 when he allegedly converted to Islam, taking on a name of Mayanja Ghadafi.
Ironically, it turned out his conversion was a stunt to promote his upcoming concert at the time. A section of the public believes Daniela’s impending divorce could be a stunt to promote Chameleone’s upcoming concert dubbed ‘Legend Hit After Hit’.
What’s your take on Daniela’s application for divorce?
