Goodlyfe singer Weasel Manizo is in hot water after being caught on camera assaulting promoter Nobat during a heated altercation. The incident has prompted the Uganda National Promoters Federation to take swift legal action against the musician.
In a statement released on Friday, Juma Balunywa, a representative from the promoters’ federation, expressed his outrage over the incident. “Even if it was about money, if someone owes you money, do you just go and beat him up?” he questioned, highlighting the unprofessional behavior exhibited by Weasel.
Where does Weasel get the guts to beat up a promoter without even stopping to think of the years you spent eating grass, unable to make even one concert.
In response to the incident, the federation held a meeting and decided to pursue legal action against Weasel.
As a federation, we had a meeting and instructed our lawyer to start the process of taking Weasel to courts of law. He can accuse us of nonrepayment, but we shall take him on for assault. The courts will decide.
The federation emphasized that they do not want this incident to set a precedent where musicians feel they can mistreat promoters with impunity.
