Daniella Atim, the former wife of the renowned Ugandan artist, Jose Chameleone, has for the first time revealed the reasons behind her resounding silence following the death of her brother-in-law, Humphrey Mayanja, the elder brother to Jose Chameleone.
Mayanja passed away and was buried last week after a prolonged battle with cancer.
Following his death, various individuals took to social media to mourn Mayanja, with some sending condolences to the Chameleone family for losing their elder brother, who had also served as their manager.
However, Daniella Atim did not mourn Mayanja with any message or write anything about him in mourning, prompting some internet users to inquire why she showed no empathy towards the deceased.
One person asked her such a question on her Instagram page, wondering why she did not mourn despite being bereaved as a family.
Responding, Daniella Atim said, “Don’t you know that the dead cannot read messages!”
This clarification from Daniella has sparked debates on social media, with many users criticizing her for not showing support to the bereaved family during such a difficult time.
However, some people have come forward to defend Daniella, suggesting that she may have had personal reasons for her decision not to participate in Humphrey’s funeral.
Some have speculated that there might have been unresolved issues or tensions between Daniella and Humphrey that led to her decision to stay away during the mourning period.
