A recording of social commentator Frank Gashumba ranting about his daughter Sheilah Gashumba got out and was posted online.

The 10-minute-and-51-second audio file says that Gashumba gave it to someone named Diana so that she could send it to Sheilah. Anyway, I know I can talk all day. When she was with God's Plan, you told me something that stuck with me. You told me about Lionel Richie and his problems with his daughter, and how he solved them by letting his daughter go and letting her come back whenever she wants. So, I did that to Sheilah.

How does Sheilah begin to fall asleep in a chair? She is sleeping on someone's couch because she doesn't have a room of her own.

So, I picked her up from Cayenne Restaurant and Lounge, which is now called The Villa. She was embarrassed, but I'm her father, so I didn't care. I also do a lot of research. I'm even reading a book right now that says, "Defend your son or daughter in public; slam him or her behind closed doors." That's what I'm trying to do: defend your child in public, but when you get home, shut the door and turn into a lion.This is wrong, because people who don't like you don't say bad things about you. They've said all kinds of things about me, but she doesn't seem to understand what I'm going through. There's nothing I tell her to do that she does.

When she started working, we'd say we'd meet at 2, but she'd show up at 5. If she doesn't respect me, who made sacrifices, who does she respect?

... if you don't respect your father, you won't respect your husband or your bosses... and I'm starting to get the feeling that whenever I call her, she's always with rascals... forward it to her, you don't know my pain... if Sheilah could say that my father didn't send me to good schools because he didn't have money, I would be willing to go to jail... those days, I had to take a child to Tai I never delegated. I also tried to go to every school event.

She left Taibah and went to Galaxy [International School], and from there to Kabojja International School. She would leave home at 8:30 and come back at 2:00. I think I would be a better parent if I had another child. I want her to be the best woman of her time, the most successful one.

But how can she succeed if she is just wasting the money? I think it's important to try to save people, but you just told me she was hurt. Dianah, if women and kids knew what we have to deal with... I don't want to hurt Sheilah, but if I wanted to know what was going on with her bank accounts, I could, and she knows I could... I know people who work at Stanchart. I told her to keep her money for investments and her money for personal use separate.

She has a brand because God helped her. When people still like her, we'd have lotions with her name on them. Time will pass, and no one will care about her anymore. Use them while they still need you. She had opened a shop in Kisementi, but when her mother joined her, I knew it was over. Her tattoos made me wonder why God would give her such beautiful skin if she was going to cover it up. People bleach their skin every day to look like hers. You even got a tattoo on your butt, and you think I can be happy with that?

I used to wash her when she was a baby, so I know everything about her. She had no scars, and when I took her to Kikuubo in downtown Kampala, people asked if her mother is white or Indian. But you have tattoos? You got that scoundrel (God's Plan) on your back? [Later, Sheila hid the tattoo]. I'm in pain.

Dianah, it hurts me that you don't know. Please tell her about these messages... How do you date a man who can't afford to buy a car for himself? I've never driven a woman I was dating's car. One time, she wanted to introduce me to that jerk and his parent, but I wouldn't meet them even if I were dead. I want you to do well... I told her, "I want to see your contracts with NBS TV and Chop Life Restaurant and Bar." But she always lies to me. If I had put her in UPE schools, she wouldn't be the same person she is now... Send them to her so she can feel my pain. We were going to sit down and talk about investments.

I know she is having fun right now... I know what she should do at 25 and 26, but at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself, "What's my backup plan?" ... During Covid, she planned a party at AYA [Pearl of Africa Hotel], and a police officer came to cause trouble. I made sure that idiot was fired from the police... Sheilah has no idea at all. She has no idea...

Dianah, Dianah, parents need to pray for each other...
