Alien Skin and Pallaso: A Tense Encounter in Makindye Amid a Longstanding Feud
The simmering rivalry between Alien Skin and Pallaso reached a new chapter yesterday when the two music heavyweights, alongside their respective gangs, met on the streets of Makindye. This encounter comes after a series of public altercations, music taunts, and physical confrontations that have fueled one of Uganda’s most talked-about feuds in the music industry.
The Beef: A History of Conflict
The Alien Skin and Pallaso beef dates back to June 2023, when both artists held concerts on the same day — Pallaso at the Lugogo Cricket Oval and Alien Skin at Freedom City. The tension escalated further when the two artists clashed physically, with Pallaso accusing Alien Skin of disrespect and taunting him. This altercation involved Pallaso slapping Alien Skin, a highly publicized moment that added fuel to the fire of their rivalry.
The feud didn’t end there. Throughout 2023 and into 2024, the two artists continued to take jabs at each other, both through their music and social media posts. But things took a more violent turn in January 2025, when Pallaso led a violent raid on Alien Skin‘s camp, Fangone Forest, in an apparent retaliation. Alien Skin responded by descending from a building at his home after the raid, marking another volatile moment in their ongoing battle.
A Brief Moment of Reconciliation
Despite the escalating violence, calls for peace and reconciliation have come from various figures in Uganda’s music industry, as well as fans. On Monday, a surprising moment occurred in Makindye when the two artists met face-to-face. In front of a crowd, Alien Skin and Pallaso shared a moment of reconciliation, hugging and shaking hands. The gesture was seen as a potential turning point for their bitter rivalry, with the two whispering a few words in each other’s ears.
This moment of peace, however, was not as smooth as it appeared. Beneath the surface, tensions were still high, and the meeting did not come without its challenges. Despite the pleasantries exchanged, members of both gangs seemed to be bracing for more violence. Videos from the encounter show individuals still shoving each other and exchanging heated words, proving that the reconciliation may not be as genuine as it seemed.
The Underlying Tensions and Escalating Violence
While Alien Skin and Pallaso may have momentarily patched things up, the rivalry remains far from over, especially with their gangs continuing to stir trouble. In one of the videos circulating online, singer Kid Dee, who is reportedly aligned with Pallaso, claims that he was assaulted by one of Alien Skin’s bodyguards during the reconciliation. Kid Dee has since vowed to retaliate, adding yet another layer of complexity to the ongoing feud.
The tension also became palpable when Pallaso and his crew were seen grabbing bricks as soon as Alien Skin‘s group arrived at the scene. This response suggested that both sides were not fully trusting of the other, and that the supposed reconciliation may have been an unexpected and tense situation.
Fans Remain Skeptical
As for the fans of Pallaso and Alien Skin, many remain unconvinced that the public display of reconciliation will put an end to their feud. Although both artists are known for their strong fan bases, it is clear that their supporters still harbor suspicions and doubts about the sincerity of the truce. Fans expect the tension to build once again, believing that this peace might only be temporary before the feud takes another dramatic turn in the coming months.
The larger question remains: can Alien Skin and Pallaso truly reconcile for the benefit of the industry, or will their rivalry continue to fuel smaller altercations, dividing their fans and affecting their careers?
Conclusion: A Complex Path to Peace
The encounter in Makindye serves as a momentary break in an ongoing saga of conflict between Alien Skin and Pallaso. While the gesture of reconciliation may appear promising on the surface, the underlying tensions and continued violent interactions suggest that the path to peace is far from certain. With fans, industry players, and both camps divided, it remains to be seen whether this brief encounter will mark the end of their feud or simply be another chapter in an ever-escalating rivalry.
