Published on October 2, 2019, Stivo Simple Boy's latest hit song is a powerful reminder that 'crime does not pay.'
Real name Steven Otieno, Stivo Simple Boy shot to fame about three months ago after appearing on the Chipukeezy Show on Ebru TV and releasing his breakout hit record 'Mihadarati' in 2017.
Despite initially gaining popularity due to online ridicule over his appearance, Stivo Simple Boy has developed a thick skin and continues to rise to fame.
As he says in his song, 'Walikua wananichekelea kwanza na venye sura yangu inakaa. Walisema ati ooh sura yangu ni kama monkey… inauma but itabidi uzoee. Sisi wote ni wana wa Mungu. Kila mtu ni mwema hapa duniani. Huwezi jua kwamba siku moja huyo monkey ndio atakuja kukusaidia siku za usoni.'
Undeterred by online criticism, Stivo Simple Boy has continued to release music, including the gospel track 'I Lift You Higher' featuring Scheneider Shanny, and his latest anti-crime song 'Uhalifu'.
