Ugandan musician Jose Chameleone’s son, Abba Marcus Mayanja, has been arrested in Minnesota, United States, over an alleged domestic assault, according to booking information.

According to the available booking information, Mayanja was still in custody when the details were published, with bail or bond listed at $10,000.

Abba Marcus Mayanja Announces Split Before Arrest

The arrest came just hours after Mayanja announced on social media that he had ended his relationship with his pregnant girlfriend.

In a series of posts shared on his verified Instagram account, Mayanja accused his girlfriend of being abusive and cheating on him.

“Finally done w this abusive ass girl,” he wrote in one post.

In another, he claimed that he had been provoked over time and suggested that his actions were a reaction to what he described as his girlfriend’s behaviour.

Mayanja also described himself as a peaceful person when not provoked and accused his former partner of deliberately using things that upset him against him.

However, his social media posts did not provide specific details about the incident that resulted in his arrest.

It also remains unclear from the available booking information whether his girlfriend was the complainant in the domestic assault case.

Arrest Comes Amid Pregnancy News

The development comes months after Mayanja and his girlfriend, identified in Ugandan entertainment reports as Angel, announced that they were expecting their first child.

Reports published in April indicated that Angel was around 19 weeks pregnant at the time. The couple had also appeared together in social media videos, including posts showing her pregnancy.

Mayanja had regularly shared aspects of his relationship online, giving followers glimpses into his personal life in the United States.

The pregnancy generated significant attention in Uganda because it would make veteran musician Jose Chameleone a grandfather for the first time.
