Ugandan musician Jose Chameleone, real name Joseph Mayanja, has issued an apology for kissing his brother on the lips while on stage during a concert performance on Friday in the capital, Kampala.

It wasn’t the first time the brothers kissed on stage, but recently there has been a sharp rise in anti-gay sentiments in the country, with calls for a crackdown on promoters of same-sex relations.

Jose Chameleone’s kiss with his musician brother Weasel saw an influential preacher registering a complaint with the Uganda police against the pair.

“I know most of my friends have been offended and didn’t carry it lightly. I sincerely apologise. It was just too much energy, excitement. I actually regret it,” the musician said in a tweeted video.
