The controversy began when Mayiga instructed Buganda Kingdom’s media outlets to stop playing music by Gravity and fellow musician Lil Pazo, citing concerns that their songs could upset listeners and do not meet the Kingdom’s standards. In light of this directive, Gravity felt compelled to speak out against what he perceives as misinformation.
“I’m just an artist that employs art in his music,” Gravity stated. He firmly rejected the notion that his work is vulgar, asserting that he has always aimed to create meaningful content. Furthermore, he highlighted a lack of support from local media outlets throughout his career, questioning the validity of the claims made against him.
Gravity’s remarks have sparked discussions about artistic freedom and the role of cultural leaders in shaping public perception of music in Uganda. As he continues to defend his craft, many are watching closely to see how this dispute unfolds within the broader context of Ugandan entertainment.
