Legendary producer Washington, who worked closely with Radio and Weasel throughout their career, has made a bold claim, saying the Goodlyfe duo would have outperformed Wizkid if they had proper management.
Washington, the man behind most of their biggest hits, believes Radio and Weasel were the most powerful music duo not only in Uganda but across Africa.
However, he attributes their failure to reach global heights to poor organisation and internal management issues.
“Goodlyfe was the most powerful entertainment duo in Africa, but they didn’t have an organised management team. Imagine if Radio and Weasel had an organised crew like Wizkid, how far they would have gone,” Washington said in an interview with a local YouTuber.
He explained that despite their raw talent, massive fan base, and hit songs, the duo lacked the structure needed to penetrate the international market fully.
Wizkid, on the other hand, is currently one of Africa’s biggest global music exports and has for years competed on the world stage with stars like Burna Boy, Davido, and Chris Brown, something Washington believes Radio and Weasel could have achieved with the right management system.
