Otile Brown Responds To Rumors Of Clout Chasing Chira’s Funeral

Kenyan singer Otile Brown has addressed speculation that his performance at TikTok star Brian Chira’s funeral was a publicity stunt.

Brown delivered a heartfelt performance at the ceremony on Tuesday, March 26th, which moved many attendees. Following the event, rumors surfaced online questioning his motives.

In a recent interview, Brown clarified that he sang at the funeral solely due to overwhelming fan requests. Fans expressed that Chira was a big fan of Brown’s song “One Call.”

Honoring a fan’s memory was Brown’s primary motivation. “What does promoting my album have to do with this?” Brown said. “Those who know me understand I’m simply showing love. I never met Brian personally, but fans brought him to my attention during a live stream.”

Brown continued, “Upon learning more, I discovered he was a huge fan. Look at the comments on ‘One Call’ on YouTube – it’s all about him! People are showing their love, not me. Those who know me know I don’t chase clout. This was purely an act of respect.”

Brown emphasized that his song’s popularity wouldn’t have been affected by his presence at the funeral. He concluded by challenging his critics: “Would you have preferred I not attend?”
