Singer Weasel Manizo has pleaded with Juliet Zawedde to buy his ticket back to Uganda.
In leaked videos and audios, recorded while he appeared drunk, Weasel said he misses his wife and children and no longer enjoys his stay in the U.S. He fears his wife might move on with other men.
Weasel also claimed that singer Bushoke and his brother, Jose Chameleone, have had a better experience in the U.S. because Zawedde has been taking them shopping and giving them expensive gifts.
Reports indicate that Weasel was kicked out of Zawedde’s home after hosting a party without her permission. He had travelled to the U.S. with Chameleone, who was seeking treatment, and they had been staying at Zawedde’s house, with her footing the bills.
Despite this, Weasel keeps reaching out to Zawedde, insisting he loves her and calling her "mom."

Who is Weasel Manizo?
Weasel Manizo, born Douglas Sseguya Mayanja, hails from Kawempe. He attended Happy Hours Primary School, St. Balikuddembe Secondary School, and Kawanda Secondary School but dropped out in Senior Five.
He began his music career in high school, singing with the likes of Kim Swagga. In Senior Four, his brother, Jose Chameleone, helped him record an album, which businessman Kasiwukira bought for Shs2.5 million.
After dropping out, Weasel moved to the U.S. for menial jobs but returned after a few months. Back in Uganda, he lived with Chameleone, where he met Mowzey Radio, who had been introduced by Chagga to Leone Island.
The two started as backup singers for Chameleone before he encouraged them to collaborate. Eventually, they fell out with Chameleone, who evicted them. They then co-rented a house with their first manager, Jeff Kiwanuka.
One day, Weasel met Aziz Azion, who was heading to Omulangira Suuna’s studio. He informed Radio, and they decided to tag along. At the studio, Suuna played an instrumental for Lwaki Onumya, originally meant for other artists who had failed to deliver. When Suuna played it, Radio effortlessly flowed to the beat, and they recorded the song.
The next day, they recorded Nakudata, featuring Omulangira Suuna. They handed the CDs to Jeff Kiwanuka, who immediately knew they had made a hit. Within a week, they were getting booked for Shs600,000 per show.
However, they later fell out with Suuna over money disputes from bookings.
