Earlier this week, the Prime Minister of Buganda Kingdom, Charles Peter Mayiga, clarified that Pallaso was never knighted with the title "Sir," as he alleges.
Mayiga explained that the Kabaka only invited him for a performance and nothing more.
Mayiga's comments were not well received by Pallaso. The singer, however, says the Katikkiro is entitled to his opinion, but he personally understands that the Kabaka knighted him with the title 'Sir'.
"That was his opinion, and he is entitled to it. I personally understand it differently because it was I who had a private talk with the Kabaka. The Kabaka himself appreciated me, and I was personally invited by his son," he explained.
Pallaso adds that he has a strong bond with Buganda Kingdom and has much respect for the Kabaka of Buganda.
In April 2023, during the Kabaka's birthday celebrations, he endorsed Pallaso's music, revealing that Pallaso is his artist and that he enjoys his songs.
