In his recent statements, Gravity emphasized that politics has created divisions among fans, causing them to support artists based on political affiliations rather than musical merit. This shift has significant implications for concert attendance and overall artist visibility. His own experience with low turnout at his concert Embaga Ya Isma N’Amina serves as a poignant example of how political narratives can overshadow musical talent.
Additionally, Gravity criticized TikTok for promoting superficiality in music production. He pointed out that many artists are now prioritizing catchy phrases designed for virality over genuine creativity and artistry. “While I don’t advocate for banning TikTok,” he explained, “its influence has led to many businesses collapsing while helping others grow. But in Uganda’s music industry, it has ruined our art.”

As the industry navigates these challenges, his insights could pave the way for a renewed commitment to quality and integrity in Ugandan music.
