Andrew Kibe Responds to Backlash Over Remarks on Stevo Simple Boy

Andrew Kibe has addressed the backlash following his controversial remarks about Kenyan rapper Stevo Simple Boy, dismissing claims that he negatively impacted the musician's self-esteem.

Kibe stated that Stevo's self-esteem is a personal matter between him and God, not influenced by Kibe's comments. He argued that Stevo remains in the public eye because people are familiar with him, noting that much of the attention revolves around discussions of his appearance, particularly his facial features.

Andrew Kibe is a well-known media personality in Kenya, often making headlines for his provocative statements. His commentary frequently stirs debate, drawing both criticism and support from the public.

Stevo Simple Boy, whose real name is Stephen Otieno Adera, gained national attention with his 2019 hit song 'Mihadarati'. The song's message against drug abuse resonated widely, establishing him as a unique voice in the Kenyan music scene. Recently, Kibe's remarks about Stevo and his newborn son during an episode of the 'Lessons at 30' podcast sparked significant backlash, with celebrities like Mulamwah condemning Kibe's comments and urging him to exclude children from such disputes according to KBC.

In the wake of the controversy, Dr. Ofweneke, the podcast host, apologized to Stevo and took responsibility for not challenging Kibe's remarks during the episode. Additionally, businessman Dr. Hezekiah Kariuki extended financial support to Stevo, offering him Ksh100,000 as a gesture of goodwill amidst the public uproar as reported by K24.
