Popular Kenyan hitmaker Stevo Simple Boy has announced the acquisition of a new vehicle, sharing the news on Instagram with a series of photos alongside his new management team, including comedian and YouTuber Tumbili. The “Mihadarati” singer expressed immense gratitude, proclaiming that this marks his first-ever car ownership since embarking on his music career, a significant milestone achieved with the support of his current management.
“Thanks to @shaqmotorsltd254 & my new management @directorstarks, I have successfully become a car owner in the country for the first time since I began my artistic journey,” Stevo partly captioned his celebratory post, clearly thrilled by the achievement.
Mixed Reactions and Lingering Questions
However, Stevo’s announcement has quickly gone viral, attracting a flurry of mixed reactions from netizens. This development comes on the heels of a recent revelation where the artist admitted to faking the purchase of a previous Mazda Demio, a stunt he claimed was orchestrated by his former manager, Machabe, solely for “clicks” and online attention.
This past deception has cast a shadow over his current announcement, with many netizens and industry observers voicing skepticism. Consequently, his new management team has faced criticism, with accusations of lacking original ideas and merely “copy-pasting” the controversial tactics of his former manager. Critics argue that repeating a similar public spectacle, even if this time it’s genuine, undermines the artist’s credibility and the integrity of his new team.
Despite the skepticism and criticism directed at his management, a significant portion of the online community expressed genuine joy and support for Stevo Simple Boy. Many reactions clearly indicated a desire to see the artist succeed and genuinely “win,” applauding his personal achievement of owning a car for the first time. The public remains divided between celebrating Stevo’s apparent success and questioning the authenticity and strategy behind his recent announcements.
