Popular Ugandan musician Douglas Mayanja, better known by his stage name Weasel, is currently hospitalized following a suspected domestic altercation in Munyonyo that left him seriously injured.
According to Kampala Metropolitan Police, Weasel was allegedly run over by a vehicle driven by his partner, Sandra Teta, in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred shortly after midnight outside **Shan’s Bar** in Munyonyo, a popular nightlife spot in Kampala.
Police allege that after an argument between the couple, Teta intentionally drove a vehicle registration number UBH 148Y into Weasel.
The car has since been impounded and is being held at Kabalagala Police Station as part of the investigation.
Teta was taken into custody and is facing charges of unlawful wounding.
Weasel was initially rushed to Mukwaya General Hospital Nsambya before being transferred to Nsambya Referral Hospital where he is currently undergoing treatment.
His condition has not yet been officially disclosed, but police confirmed he is receiving medical attention.
ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, Deputy Public Relations Officer for Kampala Metropolitan Police, said investigations into the incident are ongoing and more details will be provided in due course.
Weasel is a prominent figure in Uganda’s music industry, rising to fame as one half of the legendary duo Radio and Weasel, alongside the late Moses Radio, who passed away in 2018.
The group was part of the Goodlyfe Crew, known for hits like “Bread and Butter”, “Nakudata”, and “Talk and Talk”.
Weasel, a younger brother to music icon Jose Chameleone, has remained active in music and entertainment, though his career in recent years has been marred by controversy.
The couple, Weasel and Sandra Teta, have two children together and have previously made headlines for their tumultuous relationship, though both had downplayed reports of domestic violence in past interviews.
This latest incident has sparked renewed public concern over celebrity relationships and gender-based violence in Uganda.
Police have urged the public to avoid speculation as the investigation continues.
