I didn’t invite Bebe Cool because I feared fans wouldn't come - Gravity

Singer Gereson Wabuyi, better known as Gravity Omutujju, said he intentionally refused to invite Moses Sali, alias Bebe Cool, to his show because he had a gut feeling it would negatively affect attendance.

Cool and Omutujju have a song together titled 'Kerere', so it was a surprise to many that he didn’t invite him to perform at his concert; the former also didn’t promote his show.

“I intentionally refused to call Bebe Cool, I didn't even bother him; I left him because… you may announce him as a performer and people refuse to come,” Omutujju said, adding that he is not his fan.

“To be honest, I'm not Bebe Cool's fan, but I know his music, like Kaseepiki, Wire Wire, which other one, the one he sang from a desert, Love You Everyday."

The Tusimbudde singer, who had a highly-attended concert over the weekend, took aim at the trio of Bobi Wine, Bebe Cool and Jose Chameleone, who most regard as the top three musicians in the country, saying they have become lazy, they are selfish and they are no longer relevant in the industry.

His remarks attracted scathing feedback from the music fraternity, including music promoter Balaam Barugahara who promoted his concert. He told him to respect elders in the industry.

The Big Boys crooner, who had also declared himself Uganda’s number-one singer, later retracted his statement, putting Eddy Kenzo in that position.

He said Bobi Wine is number two, followed by Chameleone, then David Lutalo, himself, King Saha and Cool in that order.

Omutujju’s sentiments about Cool could be drawn from the fact that the latter is pro-the ruling National Resistance Movement party and a considerable number of music fans in the opposition don’t like him because of that. But that hasn’t stopped Cool from holding successful shows.
