The Premier on Monday vowed to hold staff members at the stations personally responsible if they play Gravity’s music.

His directive is the biggest blow yet to the singer who has recently been in the eye of the storm for creating controversial music.

Katikkiro Mayiga made these remarks during an engagement meeting with Kadongo Kamu artist Lord Fred Sebatta, who had paid a courtesy visit to Bulange Mengo ahead of his concert on December 13.

The Katikkiro also commended Sebatta for producing educational and entertaining songs that have stood the test of time in the industry.

Sebatta, who will be celebrating 41 years in the music industry during his upcoming concert, expressed his appreciation to his supporters for their unwavering trust and support over the years.

The Prime Minister of Buganda Kingdom, Charles Peter Mayiga, has advised musicians to refrain from producing abusive songs in a bid to gain popularity.

“Instead of becoming popular, you tarnish your name, especially among the young generation, not realizing that the negative image you create won’t last long,” he said.

Sebatta was accompanied by other artists who also expressed their gratitude to the Katikkiro for his efforts to promote all categories of artists within Buganda Kingdom.Among them were Mr.Kakumirizi,Harriet Sanyu,Nakakawa and many others.

In his statement, the Katikkiro expressed his dismay over the content of Gravity Omutujju’s songs, specifically accusing the artist of producing “disturbing songs” that do not reflect the values Buganda upholds.

Mayiga stated that he had never met the artist personally but had seen his performances on television.

He questioned the purpose behind Gravity’s choice of lyrics, stating, “Why does he sing such disturbing songs? Have you decided now to abandon grooming your talent to unsettling people? What is the aim?”

The Katikkiro also pointed another artist Yasin Mukasa, aka Lil Pazo, whose music he said was equally disturbing.

“You have deviated from developing talent now you are spreading obscenity? What is your intention? Popularity? People may cheer you on but that’s how far you can go. Imagine if Fred Sebbata did that the 40 years he was active in the industry, I don’t think anyone would want to associate with him now. If you want to spread obscenity, do it in your bedroom,’ Mayiga said.
He urged the duo to emulate their likes of Carol Nantongo and Lydia Jazmine whose songs he said carry meaning to their fans.

“There are so many things you can sing about. I have never seen Lydia Jazmine singing obscene things. The other day when I met Carol Natogop, I told her that her job is not just to entertain fans but to educate them as well. To create good music takes time. It’s a big job and takes a lot of sacrifice. It’s like an advocate practising law as their daily job. Talent is complicated. Take time and develop it,” he added before lauding veteran musicians whose songs are still relevant and carry meaning to Ugandans even decades after passed on or stopped being active.
This comes days after the Uganda Natioal Cultural Centre (UNCC) on December 3 summoned the two for a meeting over their vulgar songs.
