Self-proclaimed promoter Norbat Events faced the wrath of the Mayanja family on Tuesday this week after being assaulted by singer Weasel.
Weasel claimed he hadn’t been paid for the “Memories of Goodlyfe” concert, which took place at Hotel Africana earlier this month.
However, in an interview with Sanyuka Television, Norbat Events confirmed that he had paid Weasel 100 million Ugandan shillings as a signing fee.
“I paid Weasel 100 million Ugandan shillings just as a signing fee, and everyone I spoke with about it told me I wasted my money. He even bought a car with part of the money I gave him,” he said.
Norbat added that he has all the documentation of payments made to Weasel and will present it at the right time.
Meanwhile, In a leaked phone call recording, Weasel, known for his involvement in the celebrated Goodlyfe duo, revealed that he was provoked by Nobert with demeaning remarks about his brand and personality.
Weasel disclosed that Nobert allegedly told him he did not deserve any payment from the recently concluded “Memories of Goodlyfe Concert.”The promoter reportedly claimed that organizing the event was a favor to Weasel, and therefore, no compensation was necessary.
“Nobert told me what I am not supposed to hear. He said to me that he helped me so he doesn’t need to pay me. He said nobody would have helped me if he didn’t,” Weasel said.
The musician expressed his deep disappointment and frustration, which led to the heated confrontation where he physically lashed out at the promoter.
Following the incident, the management of Radio & Weasel released a statement addressing the situation.Despite the concert’s success earlier this month, the statement alleges that Nobert Events has refused to pay the duo for their performance.
The management also highlighted their unsuccessful attempts to resolve the matter with Nobert and his team, emphasizing their commitment to fairness and transparency in ensuring that all parties are compensated for their efforts.
