You can’t call yourself Omutujju when you aren’t ‘chaotic,’ says Gravity’s mother

"Up to now, he is chaotic. To call yourself Omutujju, doesn't that mean you are chaotic? and he calls himself those names," she said, adding that she didn't mind when he chose the nickname "because that's music life."

Kajoina is among the many revelers that thronged Lugogo Cricket Oval on October 1 to attend Gravity Omutujju's concert. She said despite her son's weaknesses, he had done well for himself.

"My son is good. He is a hustler because there are places that he goes to and I also respect him. Had I ever been here? He even goes abroad. I wonder how he has been able to establish all these connections at his age,... because he doesn't do these shows alone. He does them with other people," she observed.

Asked if she could tell her son would grow up to become a singer, she said: "I didn't know [he would become a musician]. I thought he would be like any other kid. He played football and broke his leg at Old Kampala. He started singing at a young age. He was 17."

Kajoina continued: "I'm proud of him, he makes us happy, he has friends, fans are here supporting him. He comes and visits me, and he is the one who invited me here. I stay in Fort Portal. He gave me transport and I came. He told me, mum come and watch the show and see the musicians."

Asked if she thinks her son is badly behaved, judging by some bad publicity in the media, she said: "He is a good person. He has been with his wife for 9 years and they have two kids together. You can't do that if you are not serious about life."

However, the Tusimbudde hitmaker's mother wasn't impressed when he started releasing diss songs about fellow artistes until they sat and talked about it.

"When he sang about other musicians, I didn't like it... I talked to him and he told me, mum, they also abuse me. If you could hear how they abuse me, you'd also feel the pain, and I told him to fight as a man."

She said Gravity Omutujju picked up his singing talent from her father's side because they had a lot of gospel singers.
