Controversial Ugandan musician and Fangone Forest boss, Alien Skin, was allegedly beaten during a chaotic incident in Iganga last night. The incident, which occurred shortly after his performance at a local event, has sparked outrage and debate among fans on social media.
According to eyewitnesses, the altercation broke out when Alien Skin got into a heated exchange with a group of unidentified men at the backstage area. The confrontation escalated quickly, with the artist reportedly being physically assaulted before security intervened.
Videos circulating online show a scuffle involving the artist’s entourage and local youth, though it’s still unclear what exactly triggered the chaos. Alien Skin, known for his no-nonsense attitude and outspoken personality, was seen being whisked away from the scene by his team.
As of this morning, no official statement has been released from Alien Skin or his management team. However, several of his loyal fans have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to condemn the violence, with hashtags like #JusticeForAlienSkin and #IgangaDrama trending.
Police in Iganga have confirmed they are investigating the matter. “We are aware of the incident involving the artist and we are gathering all necessary information to determine what happened,” said a statement from Iganga District Police.
This is not the first time Alien Skin has been involved in controversy during his tours. Despite the drama, he remains one of the most talked-about and followed artists in Uganda’s music scene.
