Pressure for Hits Leading to the Surge of Vulgar Music, Says Spice Diana

The increasing vulgarity in Ugandan music has sparked widespread concern, prompting the Uganda National Cultural Centre (UNCC) to summon singers Gravity Omutujju and Lil Pazo.

Amid calls to ban these artistes from performing at events, singer Spice Diana has shared her perspective on the issue.

While acknowledging that vulgarity in music is unacceptable, Spice Diana believes outright bans are not the best solution.

Instead, she suggests sitting down with artistes, discussing the impact of their actions, and giving them a chance to change.

She argued that some musicians may not fully understand the negative effects of their content on society.

According to Spice Diana, the root of the problem lies in the pressure artistes face to create hit songs.

In their quest for attention and talkability, they often prioritize what will gain immediate attention over morality.

She emphasized that with guidance, probation, and monitoring, artistes can be steered towards producing better content.

Spice Diana’s remarks highlight the need for a more rehabilitative approach to addressing vulgarity in music, rather than imposing immediate bans.
