Ugandan musician Gravity Omutujju has found himself embroiled in controversy after his latest song, “Eddoboozi ly’Omutuuze,” was removed from YouTube. The artist has pointed fingers at fellow musician and political figure Bobi Wine, alleging that he is behind the takedown.
The song, which garnered significant attention upon its release, was unexpectedly removed from the popular video-sharing platform, leaving fans and followers puzzled. Gravity Omutujju took to social media to express his frustration and directly accused Bobi Wine of orchestrating the removal.
In a series of posts on his social media accounts, Gravity Omutujju accused Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, of using his influence to censor the song. The musician suggested that Bobi Wine’s purported involvement in the takedown was motivated by personal animosity rather than genuine concerns.
The accusations sparked a heated debate among fans and supporters of both artists, with many expressing skepticism about the claims. Some questioned the validity of Gravity Omutujju’s allegations, while others called for transparency and accountability from YouTube regarding the removal of the song.
Neither Bobi Wine nor his representatives have publicly responded to the accusations leveled against him by Gravity Omutujju. However, the incident has reignited discussions about censorship and freedom of expression in Uganda’s music industry, where artists often navigate complex political dynamics.
As the controversy unfolds, fans of Gravity Omutujju eagerly await clarification from YouTube regarding the reasons behind the removal of “Eddoboozi ly’Omutuuze.” The incident underscores the challenges faced by artists in balancing artistic expression with political sensitivities in Uganda’s vibrant music scene.
