Katikkiro Mayiga Offers to Guide Alien Skin and Pallaso Toward Peaceful Resolution
Charles Peter Mayiga, the Katikkiro of Buganda, has called for calm and reconciliation between musicians Alien Skin and Pallaso, expressing deep concern over their ongoing feud which has taken a violent turn.
In his remarks, the Katikkiro emphasized the importance of discipline and unity in the music industry, urging the two artistes to find peaceful ways to resolve their differences.
“What is so troubling them that they have resorted to wielding pangas and hammers? What happens if one of them loses their life in these clashes?” he asked, clearly distressed by the dangerous turn the feud has taken.
Katikkiro Mayiga, known for his calm and fatherly approach, offered to mediate their conflict, saying, “Why do they not approach me with their differences so that I can help them resolve them?”
He pointed out that if not him, there are many others to whom they can turn for counsel and guidance toward peace.
The Katikkiro also expressed concern for fans who have been caught in the middle of this chaos.
“As fans who seek their entertainment, we become hesitant to attend their shows and concerts for fear of falling victim to their violent clashes,” he remarked.
Speaking with a mix of frustration and hope, Katikkiro Mayiga dismissed the notion that a musician’s power is determined by the size of their gang, or Egaali, as it is locally called.
Instead, he insisted that true power lies in talent and the ability to nurture it.
“Both are talented musicians. We want to see them performing on global stages, Nigeria, South Africa, Hollywood, or the BET Awards, not destroying each other’s property,” he emphasized.
In a lighter moment, he suggested that if Alien Skin and Pallaso feel the need to settle their differences physically, they should do it the right way, like Rickman Manrick and Grenade Official, who boxed it out in a controlled, officiated ring.
However, his overall message was serious. Violence has no place in their careers or talents.
“If you pour violence into your art, your career will die. Channel that energy into your music,” he advised.
Katikkiro Mayiga painted a picture of what Uganda’s music industry could be. Peaceful, united, and globally recognized.
His plea was not just for Alien Skin and Pallaso but for every artiste to focus on the talent that unites them rather than the differences that divide them.
