There is this profound love Tanzanian artistes have for Uganda. A few years back, Bushoke was almost getting Ugandan citizenship after spending three months here. Then Professor Jay promised to take Jose Chameleon to the courts of law after he alleged that he plagiarized his ‘Nikusaidiaje’ into ‘Bomboclat’ but when he came down here, his mind-set changed and he just decided to do a song with him instead.
