On Tuesday, Nigerian artiste Chike had a show at Serena Hotel where he performed one of Radio and Weasel’s song, Breath Away. Chike performed the song as a way of paying tribute to Radio Mowzey, one half of the Gudlyf duo who passed away years back.
Weasel, the remaining half, was not impressed by the gesture.
“Ugandan event organisers, why do you invite international artists to come and perform our own songs without consulting us?” Weasel wrote on his social media platform.
His followers, however, disagreed with him. Many didn’t find his outburst substantial.
“There is no one we can refuse to give rights to perform or pay tribute to our own as long as you go through the right channels. Show some respect, come and ask for permission. If Wizkid and Rudebuoy Psquare can come and ask for permission, they who are you?” responded.
The singer says he is going to get tough on those that continue performing the songs without his performance.
