On several occasions, he has come out during interviews and said he doesn’t listen to her music nor give attention to her songs
According to Gravity, Azawi’s music is not for the local people but rather has a certain level of people it targets and such music, according to him, doesn’t make money because it’s not made for a common and local person
Azawi, who is signed under Swangz Avenue, dropped her debut album last year on Independence Day with hit songs like Majje that features Fik Fameica, My Year and Party Mood. The album has been performing well, according to her management, with some of the songs featuring on the Apple music top 100 songs.
Gravity says some of the lyrics in Azawi’s music are high end and require a lot of knowledge for a common man like a boda boda rider to interpret. He adds that if Azawi wants to win more fans on the ground, she should do music that talks about situations faced by these people or do music that’s easily interpreted than doing the genres that require a lot of thinking.
“I am not Azawi’s fan and I don’t listen to Azawi’s music. She might be talented but not as much as people say and I say this in good faith, I think she’s overrated. I can’t be part of her fans because we totally have different tastes,” said Gravity.
“It’s these common people that pay for concerts and come to watch us perform, it’s through concerts that most artists earn not streams on online platforms. Corporate people don’t fill up event venuesI,” says Gravity.
He adds that Azawi doesn’t also listen to his music because he mostly sings for people in the villages and not for people like Azawi who are so uptown.
Currently Azawi is one of the most trending artists in Uganda and Gravity’s attack on her kept many of her fans and followers wondering what his agenda was.
Bebe Cool, when he called a media press conference to release his end of year Bebe Cool list, also said Azawi is a very good and talented artiste but it would be hard to sell her to upcountry crowds because her music is not on the ground.
However, days after the ban on concerts and events was lifted by the government, she staged three concerts in northern Uganda with all the venues getting filled to capacity.
The number of people who attended her three concerts proved Bebe Cool wrong and people on social media asked him to come and publicly apologise to Azawi and her management.
