“Alikuwa shy, mimi sikuogopa kumwambia,” Grace Atieno said on seducing Stivo.
Grace Atieno, the wife of singer Stivo Simple Boy has revealed that she was the one who took the first step to confess her love to the artiste from Kibera.
Speaking in an interview with Vincent Mboya, the beauty from Taita Taveta pointed out that Stivo was too shy to express his feelings and thus made her the first to take that step.
“Nilikuwa wa kwanza. Alikuwa shy, mimi sikuogopa kumwambia. Mimi ndiye nilimpea motisha,” Grace said.
She said that the ‘Mihadarati’ singer was so happy after she confessed her feelings him.
“Alijisikia vizuri.Hata hivyo hakuniambia. Aliambia watu wa kwao nikakuja kuskiza kwao.”
Grace revealed that she first met the musician several years ago and they became friends before their love story began.
“Tulikutana Made in Kibra. Nilikuwa nikidensi. Kuna kijana tulikuwa tukidensi na yeye. Yeye ndiye alituunganisha. Kuna wimbo alikuwa akitoka ‘Mihadarati’. Nikaona siwezi na densi walizokuwa wakicheza. Baadaye akaja kutoa I lift you Higher. Hapo ndipo tukajuana na yeye mpaka sasa hivi, namshukuru Mungu,” Grace said.
Grace further revealed that she was in a relationship with Stivo even when reports emerged about his relationship with Pritty Vishy.
However, she insists that her husband never had a romantic relationship with the 22-year-old content creator.
“Akiwa na yeye (Pritty Vishy) bado tulikuwa pamoja. Hata kama Stivo alikuwa ananificha mimi nilikuwa najua kila kitu kuhusu anavyoendelea kimapenzi. Hakuwa ananicheat, aliogopa tu kuniambia. Sidhani yeye na huyo msichana walikuwa na mapenzi,” she said.
Grace also made it clear that she did not choose to date the artiste from Kibera because of his fame but did it to help him succeed.
She noted that she motivated him a lot when he was on the verge of quitting music because of insults on the internet.
“Sikujua ningeweza kufika na yeye mahali tumefika sasa hivi. Kuna wakati alitaka kupoteza na muziki. Watu walikuwa wakimtusi kutokana na jinsi anakaa. Mimi ndiye nilikuwa namtia moyo asipoteze matumaini aendelee tu,” Grace said.
Adding; “Aliniongelesha na mamake na dada zake wakasema ndivyo namsapoti basi itabidi akae na mimi. Kwetu sio wengi wanampenda lakini mapenzi…”
