Abba Marcus Mayanja, the son of Ugandan musician Jose Chameleone, has been released from a Minnesota jail following his arrest on a domestic assault charge.
The 20-year-old was released at 12:31pm local time on 17 August 2026, according to records from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office.
Court records show that Marcus was granted a conditional release, although the specific conditions attached to his release were not publicly disclosed.
The court had listed two options for his release: a $6,000 (about Shs22.3 million) bail or bond without conditions, or release without payment subject to conditions.
Marcus was released under the second option and did not pay cash for his release.
His release came on the same day he was scheduled to appear in court at Ridgedale at 9:30am.
The 20-year-old was arrested three days earlier and charged with misdemeanor domestic assault, specifically an allegation of an act intended to cause fear of immediate bodily harm or death.
Although Marcus is now out of custody, the charge against him remains pending as the case proceeds through the court system.
