Gravity’s song is fine, says police spokesman

Singer Gravity Umutujju's new hit 'Doozi' has sparked public debate
The song has received mixed reactions, with many calling for a ban due to its sexualized lyrics and video
Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesman, Luke Owoyesigire, finds the lyrics acceptable but expresses unease with the music video

The strong which dropped early this week has been received with mixed reactions.

Many on social media have called for its ban as they find both its lyrics and video to be heavily sexualised.

However, Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesman Luke Owoyesigire differs.

Yesterday, the police mouthpiece gave the song’s lyrics a pass, saying they are not as vile as portrayed online.

Owoyesigire however, joined those expressing unease with Gravity’s music video.

‘His lyrics are okay,” said the police spokesman

“… But the woman, though... The sounds she makes lead us to assume the obvious. I'm no doctor, but I'm sure patients don't make such sounds and gestures out of pain.”

Reactions

Gravity's video, which depicts an eroticised medical procedure, has already been reported to the authorities to have it blocked.

The music video which depicts a highly eroticised medical procedure, has already been reported to the authorities to have it blocked.

The Uganda Medical Association (UMA) leadership addressed the press on Monday calling for the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) to halt the release of a music video.

They argued that the use of a clinical coat and stethoscope in the scenes undermined the professionalism of the medical community.

Dr Herbert Luswata, the UMA president accused the controversial musician of bringing disrepute to the medical profession in the video.

"We demand that the entertainment industry ceases misusing our clinical coats and stethoscopes as this undermines the professionalism of our medical community and erodes public trust," he said.

Gravity, however, defended the song, as “innocent” and “an inspiration for people who fear medical procedures”
