• This comes just days after a video showing Pallaso beating up fellow singer Alien Skin went viral.

Alien Skin said he was not willing to perform on the same stage with someone who had violated him.

Pallaso has taken to social media to inform his fans that he had been dropped from the show.

"Hello my people in London, a decision has been made to cancel my performance at the Purple party in London. While I recognize that this news is disappointing, I hope you can understand and respect the decision just like I have. I apologize to those who have made special arrangements to attend and support me. This uncertain last-minute cancellation has tested me and my team but we are still strong.

I have been through the worst, and it always gets better. Thank you to all the Promoters that have reached out to reschedule new London dates for me and my people to meet on another great day. I will communicate in case we have anything confirmed. Asides that please go out and support the rest of the performers. I am sure the purple party in London will still be amazing. Thanks."

A statement from the event organizers indicated that the singer's violent deeds are the root cause.

"The organisers of Purple Party London Edition, which is slated to happen this Saturday, June 24th, at the Royal Regency Hall, would like to inform Ugandans in London that musician Pius Mayanja aka Pallaso will not be performing at the party due to unforeseeable circumstances that have been raised by the Management of the venue, following the vicious saga he got involved in with fellow artist Alien Skin in Kampala a few weeks back. We kindly apologize for the inconvenience caused by this development."
