“Bwanangu anahangaika,” Grace Atieno, the wife of rapper Stevo Simple Boy has opened up.
According to the 23 year old, Stevo’s management, Men In Business, is stressing him out but the rapper is humble and afraid of speaking out.
“Kuna changamoto ambazo ziko kwa nyumba. Kama sahizi anapitia mambo magumu na hawezi akasema, shida yake ye ni muoga na kijana mpole sana hawezi ongea mimi siwezi nikaona ati bwanangu anahangaika halafu ye ni muoga wa kuongea so lazima niseme tu venye ako,” she said.
Stevo and Grace have been married for one year but they have known each other for four years. Back then Grace did not know what Stevo was going through. She only found out about his troubles when they started living together.
She said that Stevo doesn’t have freedom to his money as well as his social media accounts.
“Manager wake(Vaga) anampatia stress, yeye anajikondea tu, wakati tulikuwa nae alikuwa ameungaunga tu sasa hivi ni stress ya manager wake, pesa zake na hio account zake. Si yeye ndio anatumia, kila kitu manager wake ndio anamanage,” Grace said.
“Ukienda kwa simu yake kuangalia balance huwezi hata kuta shilingi kumi peke yake. Ukimwambia nitumie hata shilingi hamsini anakuambia hana ukimwuliza pesa zako ziko wapi anasema manager wangu ndio ako nazo,” she added.
She further said that Stevo is even not aware of how much he makes from streaming platforms like YouTube and at times they have no food in the house.
She also revealed that the manager is no longer taking care of Stevo’s expenses yet that had been included in their contract.
“Saa zingine vyakula vipo saa zingine tunakosa ila twashukuru lakini mahali ako, sioni kama atasaidika,” she revealed
Grace said that he once approached Stevo’s manager about the issue but he became arrogant and they no longer understand each other.
“Namhurumia sana,” she said.
She says that she has decided to go public with the issue so that Kenyans can help Stevo Simple Boy. She also wants Stevo to quit MIB.
