"I talk to Weasel... so many times... He comes here, we vibe in the studio. But the problem is not with Weasel, it's the people; people have judged Weasel so much... instead of encouraging him, they are focusing on his weaknesses,... yet we all know he is talented," Diana said when she was asked to comment on the crooner who has recently been embroiled in some scandals and has also had a shaky music career since the loss of his singing partner, Mowzey Radio.
Diana Hajara Namakwaya, known professionally as Spice Diana, believes if people focused on Weasel Manizo's strengths instead of weaknesses, they would see him from a totally different perspective.

Radio died in 2018, the same year GoodLyfe released a song with Diana titled Kyuma and it was their last video.
"I was the last to do a video with them," Diana said while speaking to journalists on Thursday. The song's audio was produced by David Washington Ebangit and the video was directed by Aaronaire from Swangz Films, a unit under Swangz Avenue.
Recently, Catherine Kusasira revealed that Weasel, born Douglas Mayanja, once told her that he regretted the trajectory his life had taken following the death of Radio, real name Moses Sekibugo.
"Sometime back I was talking to Weasel, I think it's like a year ago, there is a word he said, we were conversing, and he told me, Cathy, I regret why I'm still living... why am I still alive? I wish I had died. Since Mowzey's death, my life turned upside down. I don't know why I'm still on this earth," Kusasira said.
"By the time someone says something like that, the kind of pain they have in their heart, I think it was too much. And I started counseling him that he shouldn't mind because in life everything is possible. Sometimes he does things he shouldn't have because he hates himself. He's not the Weasel we know. But he is a good child."
Radio, who died on February 1, 2018, sang with Weasel under GoodLyfe. They sang great songs together, but since his death, Weasel's music career went downhill.
