Popular Kenyan singer Stivo Simple Boy has publicly accused comedian and media personality Oga Obinna of attempting to exploit him. The disagreement arose after Obinna suggested that Stivo should create a YouTube channel to expand his reach and fan base.
During an interview on Obinna’s show, the two discussed Stivo’s music career and potential growth strategies. Obinna advised Stivo to launch a YouTube channel and produce regular content to engage his audience. However, Stivo interpreted this suggestion as a ploy for exploitation.
In a passionate response, Stivo claimed that Obinna’s real intention was to manipulate him into creating content that would ultimately benefit Obinna’s media platforms rather than help him. “Obinna, stop clout chasing with me,” Stivo said. “You and your team suggested opening a YouTube channel for me, but I refused. Even Trevor himself suggested the same. Where were you when I was suffering? Just tell Kenyans that you want to use me. You are not trying to help me; you want to exploit me. Leave me alone. I have my own empire, Stivo Simple Boy Empire. Obinna, stop it. I have my own channel.”
This isn’t the first time Obinna has faced criticism for his interactions with guests. Previously, Kenyans online condemned his handling of Stivo after a video of him seemingly talking down to the singer went viral. In the video, Obinna questioned Stivo’s reasons for wanting to meet President William Ruto, leading to widespread backlash.
