Former manager and musician Chagga (Geoffrey Kyagambidwa) has revealed the real reason behind the conflicts that plagued East Africa’s legendary duo, Radio and Weasel.
In a candid interview with Shalom Kaweesi, Chagga explained that despite working and living together, the duo were not as close as fans might have thought.
“Their schedules were conflicted. They each had separate friends whom they hung out with, and each side always fed them lies to manipulate them against each other. Most times when they met at their home after hanging out, they clashed,” Chagga revealed.
Friends and Misinformation Fueled Tension
According to Chagga, both Radio and Weasel had different social circles that often acted as catalysts for misunderstandings.
“Each had separate friends who always fed them lies in a bid to manipulate them and have them clash,” Chagga said.
These interventions often took place at bars or social hangouts, and by the time the duo returned home, tensions had escalated.
Conflicting Schedules Added Fuel to the Fire
Beyond external influences, Chagga noted that the duo’s work and leisure schedules rarely aligned, further complicating their professional and personal relationship.
“Their schedules were often conflicted, which affected their work and led to clashes even at home,” he added.
This insight sheds light on the challenges of balancing friendship, artistry, and fame, even for one of East Africa’s most iconic music partnerships.
Why Fans Should Care
For fans of Radio and Weasel, Chagga’s revelations provide rare context into the personal struggles behind their music and public personas. While the duo delivered countless hits, behind the scenes they faced manipulation, misunderstandings, and scheduling conflicts that complicated their partnership.
