Despite being active in politics and not being so active in entertainment, musician-cum-politician Bobi Wine has requested the pulling down of Gravity’s new song titled Doboozi Lya Mutuuze.
Gravity had released the song about five days ago but he was left in shock after learning that the song had been deleted from YouTube over copyright infringement.
“Hi GRAVITY OMUTUJJU. We received a copyright removal request for your video. Based on application copyright law. We removed your video from YouTube: Video title Gravity Omutujju Doboozi Lya Mutuuze. Content used: Kiwaani Bobi Wine. Content found in: Entire video Removal request issued by: BOBI WINE. This means that your video can no longer be viewed on YouTube,” reads part of the notice to Gravity received.
Gravity, real name Gereson Wabuyi has now resorted to social media to question why the former presidential contender would have his song deleted yet he has also reportedly redone songs produced by other artistes in the past.
In a long social media rant, Gravity questioned Bobi’s moral authority given that he’s been viewed widely as a human rights activists.
“Now see the person who wants change. Because my song talks about greedy people and thieves you have decided to pull it down, now imagine a presidential hopeful doing this to a junior turned star. Imagine if you guys had power and authority,” reads part of his rant.
The song Doboozi Lya Mutuuze follows a month’s struggle to publicize his petition to the National Unity Platform (NUP) leader to support construction of a hospital project he (Gravity) initiated in Busabala.
