Otile Brown has angrily hit back at comedian Alex Mathenge who exposed broke Kenyan Celebs who are still repaying car loans and renting.
In a post on his Instagram stories, the comedian stated that most celebrities in Kenya live in rental houses and have cars acquired through bank loans.
“Celebrities are broke, they live in rental houses, drive cars that are on loan and sometimes they don’t even have fuel they just hitch rides. Influencers try to brand themselves as brand ambassadors but still it doesn’t work. Corporates support talent by giving out hoodies and freebies. Fans use Tanzanian and Nigerian songs for ring back tones. Let’s not blames celebs at time, they lack confidence to be creative, they haven’t paid rents and their baby mamas are demanding upkeep threatening to expose them to blogger Edgar Obare,” Alex Mathenge wrote.
Even though Alex Mathenge didn’t mention Otile Brown by name, the singer was irked by his statement and he decided to hit back.
Otile took to Instagram Live to respond to Alex Mathenge claiming Kenyan artists are among the most successful in Africa.
“Let me surprise you. The funny thing is do you know that Kenyan artists they are one of the most successful artists in Africa. Do you guys know that? I know it may sound funny but am giving you the blueprint,” said Otile.
The singer further ruthlessly tore into Alex Mathenge asking him to shut up.
“Unajiaibisha just shut your mouth bro, fix the game you are in a position. Just funga mdomo yako wacha kujifanya unajua sana, kwani hapa penye tumefika na hii achievement tuko nayo wewe ndo umetufikisha hapa penye tuko? Kazi ni kujifanya unajua tu, hio ndo sababu mumearibu game. Shut your mouth stop embarrassing yourself, anytime you are opening your mouth you are embarrassing yourself,” Otile Brown lamented.
It’s ironical for Otile to claim Kenyan artists are one of the most successful in Africa yet only in March he was glorifying South African music industry.
Otile lamented about the sorry state of Kenyan music industry as he compared and contrasted it with the thriving South African music industry.
“South African Entertainment Industry Is not loud but it’s Rich asf … Serekali imewatengenezea mazingira na wanajipenda sana unaweza kuwa na nyimbo kubwa Africa na hawaujui maana huwezi skia wimbo wa nje ata mmoja kwa club. restaurant au usafiri wowote.. ni ubinafsi ila got me thinking je! Nibora uwe ivyo na watu wenu wawe vizuri au uwe mngwana waku support nyimbo za nje na kupoteza nguvu na thamani ya sanaa yenu mana jamaa awatambui na ndio mana wapo kinywa game wanailinda nakuithamini mana inatengeza ajira kila siku. Jamaa mtu ana nyimbo 2 tu ila mafanikio makubwa sana,” Otile Brown wrote.
