Ugandan-U.S.-based businesswoman Juliet Zawedde has revealed the source of her wealth.

In a viral social media video, Zawedde stated that she works for the U.S. government and owns a company that generates about $20 million annually.

"I want nothing from them... I have everything. I work for the federal and state government. I own about 50 transportation cars. My company makes over $20 million a year," she said.

It is unclear whether the video is recent or recorded earlier, but it surfaced hours after Weasel was filmed pleading with her to finance his return to Uganda.

In leaked videos and audios, a seemingly intoxicated Weasel expressed that he misses his wife and children and no longer enjoys life in the U.S. He also feared that his wife might move on with another man.

Weasel further claimed that singer Bushoke and Chameleone have had a better time in the U.S. because Zawedde has taken them shopping and given them expensive gifts.

Reports suggest that Zawedde asked Weasel to leave her home after he threw a party without her permission. He had travelled to the U.S. with Jose Chameleone, who was undergoing medical treatment, and they had been staying at Zawedde’s residence, with her covering their expenses.

Despite this, Weasel continues to express affection for Zawedde, frequently telling her he loves her and calling her "mom."

Chameleone, who has expressed gratitude to Zawedde for her support, said his health is improving and he will return home once his medical reviews are complete.

He added that Weasel's children have been calling him, asking when their father will return.

Chameleone also revealed that Pallaso might travel to the U.S. to support him after Weasel returns to Uganda.

Meanwhile, in the video, Juliet Zawedde explained that her actions were driven by love and kindness but insisted she would not tolerate public ridicule.

"I'm a married woman with children. I respect myself," she said.

She acknowledged that her children may not speak Luganda but could one day understand what people are saying about her.

She also stressed that social media posts about her will remain online forever, which is why she cannot stay silent.

Zawedde, who has lived in the U.S. for 25 years, expressed frustration over the ongoing situation.

"Enough is enough. Please... Enough is enough. Take me out of your childish, stupid battles," she said.
