Police in Iganga are on the hunt for a group of people who attacked controversial musician Alien Skin during a Women’s Day event that turned chaotic on Sunday, April 13.
The incident happened at Iganga Municipal Council Primary School, not long after Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja had finished addressing the crowd. Things went south quickly, leaving Alien Skin’s car badly damaged and the event in total disarray.
There’s still no clear story about what sparked the violence. Some people at the scene say Alien Skin upset the crowd by throwing shade at fellow musician Bobi Wine. Others claim it all started when one fan tried to join him on stage and was rough-handled by his security team, which made things worse.
Busoga East Police spokesperson SP Michael Kafayo explained that a fan, clearly excited, jumped on stage to dance with Alien Skin but was blocked by his private guards. Their reaction didn’t sit well with part of the audience. The crowd started throwing stones, and before anyone could get control, it turned into full-blown chaos.
Alien Skin’s team quickly got him off stage and into his car, but the angry crowd followed, throwing more stones and damaging the vehicle.
“We are following up on this matter and investigating the said hooligans and their motive of smashing the musician’s car,” Kafayo said, describing the group as “rowdy and dangerous.”
This isn’t the first time Alien Skin’s name has popped up in such messy situations. His fame shot up after a public fight with Pallaso, where a slap from the singer actually worked in his favor, earning him a wave of sympathy and attention.
Since then, he’s been linked to more drama—including a scuffle at Nsambya Hospital where staff were allegedly injured—and another New Year’s Day clash with Pallaso that ended with his cars getting vandalized.
While his music career keeps rising and his fan base grows, the repeated violence around his shows is raising questions about safety—for artists, fans, and the public at large—when big names step on stage.
