Well, some Ugandan media pundits had published that he was attacked because of fighting for a woman in a club.
Pallaso came out to deny the claims saying that a group of about 100 people tried to get into his car before he ran to hide at a garage.
Pallaso said in a social media video that;
They beat me up real bad. I fell down, I was stabbed. As I tried to run I was hit by a car. I tried to ask for help from the owner of the car but he just drove off so I kept running with people chasing me with machetes. They pulled my hair and beat me up. Xenophobia is real. I am not sure I’ll leave this place alive because I’m still in hiding.
In another post, he captioned;
My fellow Ugandans joking about my situation, I want to inform you Xenophobia real. I am not in court and I don’t owe anybody an explanation but the greatest part of it is Im still alive. This here is not a Nigerian owned car as claimed, this is Deno kiwunyas Mercedes car being demolished after I fled the scene under mob attacks. Same car I was seated in before all this happened. As you can see it parked on the road side next to the shop we went to buy food at. I was attacked because I am in South Africa and I’m not South African. All you passing false news need to stop please. These people are heartless can take life for no reason.
This is very sad. You will take it lightly but remember today it’s me tomorrow it’s someone else and It could be someone you love. Let’s stand up against Xenophobic attacks fellow Africans. Death flashed very closely in my face yesterday and tomorrow you or your loved one might not be as lucky as me to survive the attack. Please world wake up. #stopxenophobia
Jose Chameleone, Pallaso's elder brother said that he (Pallaso) had gone to South Africa to perform at a show and do a music video.
He also shut down claims that this whole situation is a publicity stunt.
