Ugandan singer Weasel Manizo has urged talent manager Chagga to stop repeatedly mentioning the late Radio in media interviews and focus on telling his own story as he resumes his career in Uganda.
In a leaked audio recording, Weasel expressed frustration over Chagga’s repeated references to his former music associate, questioning why the talent manager continues bringing up Radio when discussing his experiences abroad and his return to the local entertainment scene.
Chagga recently returned to Uganda from the United Kingdom and has appeared in several media interviews discussing what happened during his time overseas. He has also announced that he is back to taking bookings.
Weasel’s message was direct: Chagga should concentrate on his own professional journey rather than repeatedly revisiting Radio’s name.
“Chagga, I think it would be best that you spoke about your story and let Radio rest in peace. Just let this man rest please,” Weasel said in the leaked audio.
The singer also suggested that Chagga could discuss other aspects of Radio’s life, including his final funeral rites, rather than repeatedly bringing up the late musician in interviews.
Weasel further referenced past tensions between Chagga and other musicians, saying he remembered instances when Chagga had spoken negatively about them.
“You already talked ill about us a long time ago. I remember you even insulted Chameleone but kept quiet. Why do you feel the need to speak about Radio when you have your own story,” Weasel said.
The comments reveal continuing friction between Weasel and Chagga, whose relationship has reportedly been strained for some time.
In an earlier interview, Chagga reportedly questioned the nature of Weasel’s friendship with Radio, claiming that the relationship between the two singers was primarily professional and built around music rather than a genuine personal friendship.
Those remarks appear to be part of the wider tension surrounding the latest exchange. According to the supplied account, Weasel was hurt by Chagga’s characterisation of his relationship with Radio.
In the leaked recording, Weasel also accused Chagga of using Radio’s family name in interviews to attract attention for his upcoming show. That allegation has not been independently established in the supplied material and should be treated as Weasel’s claim, not a confirmed motive.
Radio, who formed one half of the celebrated Goodlyfe music partnership with Weasel, remains central to the history of the duo’s musical legacy.
For Weasel, however, Chagga’s return to Uganda should mark an opportunity to promote his own work and rebuild his professional momentum without repeatedly making the late singer the focus of his public appearances.
With Chagga reportedly back to accepting bookings, the disagreement adds another chapter to the tensions surrounding the people connected to Uganda’s wider music scene.
