Bebe to Gravity: ‘Dress well and bathe’ if you want to join the ‘big three’

Gravity made the comments after the trio refused to promote his concert that was held on October 1. He said that despite declining to support him, his concert was well-attended, implying they no longer command as much sway as they used to.

He accused them of being jealous, adding that since some of them have branched into other industries, like Wine in politics, they should focus on that and leave the music to enthusiastic young people.

According to Cool, they still have bills to pay, and Omutujju, who is also commonly referred to as Gravity, should do the work if he wants to be in the circle of top dogs.

"We didn't build the cage, it was built by the audience. The audience says leave those three men alone... until you are at their level. We haven't elevated ourselves to this level. It's Ugandans that have put us there. Ugandans whose attention we are competing for and singing for are the ones [who built the cage]. If you want to remove Bebe Cool from his position, produce good music for Ugandans, project a respectable demeanour, show discipline, dress well, bathe, be respectful, and then they will respect you. The audience will respect you and put you where Bobi Wine and Chameleone are," Cool said in a video seen by this reporter.

"The industry was in the hands of Jamaicans and Congolese, but it's now in hands of Ugandans. I hear people saying that if you keep dissing Bebe Cool you'll get the attention. But you may only get it for three months, and struggle for the next 30 years. So, focus on what the audience expects you to deliver."

He added: "We are musicians. We are parents. We have kids to support. Wives to dress. We have water and electricity bills. So, when you tell us to leave the music industry, do you have an office you want to go to and work and feed our children?"

He continued: "We have children,... we have wives to provide for. We have bills for water, electricity, fuel, and school fees... And he also forgot that as we move up, we have been supporting a lot of people... So, if you want us to leave music, do you have any plan for us?"
