Gospel Singer, KSB Speaks on the Difficulties of Living Under her Brother’s Success

KSB started her career under Kennis Music.

Nigerian gospel musician, Kenny Saint Best, popularly known as KSB speaks on the reasons why she struggled to earn recognition in the music industry.

The singer began her career under Kennis music, owned by her brother, Kenny Ogungbe. She said that people always credited her success to her brother, rather than seeing her for who she is. Everywhere she went, she was always introduced as Baba Keke’s sister and she didn’t like it. Being Kenny’s sister came with disadvantages, she said. She made these statements in an interview with Punch.

Excerpts below;

When I joined the music industry, it was not easy to convince people that I was talented. They felt that my brother had a hand in everything I was doing. People didn’t give me credit for music; they only knew me as Kenny Ogungbe’s younger sister. It was as if I didn’t deserve any credibility as an artiste.

“Anywhere I visited, they would address me as Baba Keke’s sister. I didn’t like that at all.To get to where I am today, I had to prove myself to the world. I needed to work harder. I didn’t want to ride on my brother’s hard work. I thank God I was able to earn people’s respect in the long run.
