It’s so painful to lose a loved one and it may take you years to get over it. This is not different for Ugandan artist Weasel who lost his music partner Mowzey Radio.
Weasel says he has moved on following the sudden death of Radio. Speaking to Adelle Onyango on Kiss FM, the Magnetic hitmaker said,at first he could not listen to the songs they did together.
“I accepted what happened and am back in the studio recording to prove to the world that I can still go on,” said Weasel.
Adding that he stopped going out after Radio died, “it was hard to listen to songs we had done together. everywhere i would go they would play our songs, and that would really hurt me.”
Weasel also talked about the things he regrets doing while Mowzey was still alive. He wishes he would get another chance to treasure the friendship he had with his late friend.
“The biggest lesson I learnt after losing Radio was treasure your friends and be good because they might go forever. I regret those times he would complain that I was not picking his calls when he was still alive. Sometimes I would take life as just normal and would even travel without telling him where I was and he would complain.”
Weasel is in Kenya for Coke Studio 2019 and he is also working on a new album that has 15 songs, as well as Radio’s album, which he left unfinished.
For more than 10 years, Radio and Weasel produced music that touched and moved millions across the world. Weasel is superstar Jose Chameleon’s younger brother.
Mowzey Radio died on a Thursday morning February 1st 2018 at Case hospital in Kampala. The singer had been admitted at the facility for four days after he was brutally assaulted at a bar in Entebbe.
