Renowned rapper Gravity Omutujju’s recent track, “Doboozi Lya Mutuuze,” faced the wrath of copyright laws on YouTube. Released just days ago, the song appeared to take aim at fellow artist Bobi Wine. Utilizing the instrumental from Bobi Wine’s “Kiwaani,” Gravity Omutujju tweaked it to fit his narrative.
The lyrics, a scathing critique of dishonest politicians and their empty promises, struck a chord with listeners. However, Gravity’s failure to comply with YouTube’s copyright guidelines led to its removal. Bobi Wine’s channel filed a copyright complaint, prompting YouTube to take action.
Gravity Omutujju, visibly frustrated, didn’t mince words in his criticism of Bobi Wine. He unleashed a tirade of derogatory terms, venting his anger at the situation. For Gravity, this removal represents more than just a lost song—it’s a blow to his artistic expression.
Yet, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting intellectual property rights. In the competitive world of music, originality and creativity must be safeguarded. While tensions between artists are not uncommon, resorting to legal measures highlights the severity of the issue.
Both Gravity Omutujju and Bobi Wine have sizable followings, making their clash all the more impactful. As fans await the next move in this musical feud, one thing remains clear: the consequences of copyright infringement are real. For now, “Doboozi Lya Mutuuze” may be silenced, but the echoes of this dispute resonate throughout the industry.
