Kenyan rapper Stivo Simple Boy recently introduced his new girlfriend, Brenda, to the public, a move that quickly stirred conversation, especially given his ongoing issues with immediate ex-manager, Geoffrey Machabe. Adding another layer of intrigue, Brenda revealed she is three months pregnant with the “Freshi Barida” hitmaker’s child. However, in a surprising turn during an interview with the Mic Cheque Podcast, Stivo himself cast doubt on her claims.

The soft-spoken artist, 35, expressed skepticism about Brenda’s pregnancy, stating, “We have been together since last year (2024). She claims she is pregnant, but I think she is not pregnant. I suspect she is not pregnant. I will establish this through a test soon.” He further elaborated on his suspicions by citing an example of a friend whose girlfriend falsely claimed pregnancy, which was later disproven by a test. Stivo suggested that some individuals might fake pregnancy to gain fame due to his celebrity status.

Stivo’s candid and somewhat humorous remarks sparked a flurry of reactions from fans online. One fan, Lord East, commented;

“Stivo Simple Boy is just an entertainer. You can argue about his talent but not his entertainment prowess.” Another, Curv’ata, recalled, “Kwa interview yake na tumbili the girlfriend alikua amenda clinic so she is pregnant,” implying that Brenda had already sought medical confirmation.

Despite being in several relationships, Stivo affirmed that he is still searching for the right person. This latest development adds to a complex personal life for the artist, who was also recently accused by Grace Atieno of being a deadbeat dad, neglecting financial support for their child.

Kenyan rapper and digital creator Stephen Otieno Adera, widely known as Stivo Simple Boy, has announced his intention to vie for the Member of County Assembly (MCA) position in Kibera during the 2027 General Elections. The announcement, made earlier today, has sparked widespread discussion among fans and residents of Kibera, one of Nairobi’s largest informal settlements.
Stivo, who rose to fame with his 2019 hit song Vijana Tuwache Mihadarati, a track that addressed the dangers of drug abuse, has long been a voice for the youth in marginalized communities. Born in Oyugis, Homa Bay County, and later moving to Kibera, the 35-year-old artist has built a career centered on tackling social issues through his music. Now, he aims to take his activism to the political stage, citing a desire to address the challenges faced by young people in Kibera, particularly the lack of access to bursaries and opportunities.

My decision to join politics is motivated by a desire to uplift the lives of young residents in Kibra,

Stivo said in a statement shared via social media. He pointed to the failure of current leaders to adequately distribute bursaries, a critical need for many families in the area struggling to afford education.

I want to vie for the MCA seat in Kibera in 2027 so that I can distribute bursaries where leaders have failed to do so,

he added.
Stivo’s journey to this point has not been without hardship. The rapper, who began his music career in 2007 and gained prominence after appearing on Ebru TV’s Chipukeezy Show in 2019, has faced numerous challenges, including allegations of exploitation by former managers. In 2022, his new management, Men in Business (MIB), accused his previous team, Made in Kibera (MIK), of misappropriating funds, claiming Stivo once earned KSh 500,000 but never saw a cent of it. Despite these setbacks, Stivo has remained a beloved figure, known for his resilience and commitment to his community. In the same year, he used earnings from a lucrative deal with Odibets to build a house for his parents in his rural hometown, a testament to his focus on giving back.
Earlier this year, on February 17, 2025, Stivo celebrated a personal milestone by purchasing his first car, a Mazda Demio, in partnership with Khushi Motors Kenya. The achievement, which he shared on social media, was met with an outpouring of support from fans who have followed his rise from the streets of Kibera to national recognition. This success, coupled with his recent foray into gospel music collaborations—such as signing and working with upcoming artist Machabe on the song Walmwengu—has further solidified his influence and reach.
However, Stivo’s announcement to run for MCA has raised questions about his readiness for political office. While his intentions to address systemic issues like education funding are clear, some observers wonder whether the rapper has the experience or resources to navigate the complex political landscape of Kibera, where poverty, unemployment, and crime remain persistent challenges. Stivo’s own history of financial struggles, including being evicted from a house in Buruburu in 2024 and returning to Kibera, might resonate with voters who see him as someone who understands their struggles. Yet, his past conflicts with management and public incidents—like collapsing on stage during a TV interview in 2024—could be used by opponents to question his stability.
On the other hand, Stivo’s grassroots appeal and history of advocacy could work in his favor. Named an ambassador for the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) in 2019, he has consistently used his platform to speak out against drug abuse and crime, issues that disproportionately affect Kibera’s youth. His music, including hits like Freshi Barida, has carried a message of hope and resilience, earning him a loyal following. Posts on X today reflect a mix of excitement and curiosity, with many users applauding his intentions while others debate his qualifications for leadership.
As the 2027 elections approach, Stivo Simple Boy’s campaign will likely focus on his connection to Kibera and his vision for empowering the youth. Whether he can translate his popularity as an artist into political success remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Stivo’s journey from a “mjengo guy” in Kibera to a potential MCA candidate is a story of determination that continues to inspire many. For now, the rapper-turned-aspiring politician is calling on his fans to support his new venture, much like they have supported his music over the years.

Musician Stivo Simple Boy is lamenting after he found out that his wife gave birth to a child that is not his, despite living with her.

According to Simple Boy, he was already suspicious even before being told that the child was not his.

Speaking in a recent interview, Simple Boy opened up about breaking up with his wife & the story around the child.

‘Tulikua sawa. Tulikua tunaishi pamoja. Wakati alikuwa ameenda kujifungua, mmoja wa familia yake akanipigia simu akasema wacha nikueke wazi, na usikasirike. Mtoto si wako. Mtoto ni wa mwanaume mwingine.

Simple Boy added that he was happy to learn that his wife was expectant, but he says he already felt that the pregnancy wasn’t his.

Moreover, Stivo says he proved his conscious was right after he wasn’t involved in naming their baby. His wife did not call him to involve him in naming the child.

For the latter reasons, Stivo decided to cut ties with the woman, citing that he would not live with a liar.

The two lovers started dating  in 2019

‘Mihadarati’ hitmaker Stivo Simple Boy has finally bagged a date with his crush Betty Kyallo after days of confessing his love for her.

The singer claimed that he was looking forward to meeting Betty Kyallo, dating her and even wished to sire three children with her; adding that he would give her a perennial love that her exes could not.

He shared via his social media;

”Lakini .. Wanaume mna hurt break Betty kyalo hua mnafikiriaje.. shida yenu Nini..ona mtoto milk maziwa, mtoto welo welo, mtoto fine thank you.. Betty kyalo Mimi Niko singoli na ukinipa fursa sitakuweka njaa kama pastor makenzi..nitakutunza kama Siri ya dunia na bingu..najua mambo itakuwa LOMBO LOMBO bila Sinza Sinza au sio?! Mwaaaaaaaaa

Simple Boy also confessed that he was ready & willing to settle down with Betty Kyallo;

“Me, when I get Betty Kyallo and settle down… and she gives me three children, two boys, and one girl. God bless 🙏🏼🥰 God, you created all this yourself 😊. Now I ask you to bless me with it,” Stevo wrote.

His wish has now been granted after he was spotted alongside Betty Kyallo in what seemed to be like a date.

Betty took to her Instagram & shared an exquisite photo of the two as she captioned;

Wengine watasema ni photoshop 😅 was a nice afternoon sharing a meal with @stevosimpleboy8 Manze ameng’ang’ana sana. Apigiwe makofi tafadhali 😅🙌🏽 pia alipiga look mbaya! Keep rising Stevo

Stivo reacted to Betty’s message by writing;

Kenyan rapper Stevo Simple Boy’s marriage with Grace Atieno appears to be strained following revelations that she is pregnant, allegedly with another man’s child. Sources close to the couple report that Stevo has been struggling with depression since learning of the pregnancy.

“He’s been deeply affected,” revealed a confidante. “He’s been contemplating his next steps and feeling understandably hurt by the situation.”

Adding fuel to the fire is a leaked audio clip in which Stevo seemingly denies paternity. “We weren’t together after my dad’s funeral,” he’s heard saying. “She came back already pregnant.”

Grace Atieno has remained largely silent on the matter, but acknowledged a shift in their relationship, promising to share her perspective in the new year.

This news casts a shadow over the couple’s previously seemingly happy union. Only time will tell if they can navigate this sensitive situation and mend their rift.

Kenyan singer Stivo Simple Boy has cast doubt on the recent breakup announcement of celebrity couple Vera Sidika and Brown Mauzo.

In an interview with Maradio FM, Stivo argued that the highly publicised split was not genuine and was simply a calculated move for business promotion.

“People should know, and I would like to disclose that there are some gimmicks for business. In this breakup story, I can say it’s all about business. They are still together and I am sure about it,” he said.

The Freshi Barida singer added that he views Vera as a sister and is not interested in her romantically. He also shared that the socialite had reached out to him in the past for a business collaboration, but he did not respond.

“Vera is my sister. There was a time she inboxed me, but I didn’t respond to her. She wanted us to meet and see if we could do business,” he said.

Stivo’s comments come after Vera and Brown Mauzo announced their breakup on social media last week. The couple, who have been together for four years, said they had decided to go their separate ways “amicably”.

However, Stivo’s claims have sparked speculation that the breakup may not be as final as it seems. Some fans have accused the couple of faking their split in order to drum up publicity for their upcoming projects.

Vera and Brown Mauzo have not yet responded to Stivo’s comments.

It remains to be seen whether the couple’s breakup is genuine or a publicity stunt. However, Stivo’s claims have certainly cast doubt on the situation.

Kenyan rapper Stivo Simple Boy has challenged Tanzanian rappers to a rap battle, saying he is ready to take them all on. The “Mihadarati” hitmaker made the challenge on his Instagram stories, saying that he is the best rapper in East Africa and that he is not afraid of anyone.

“Naskia mna vita na sisi marapper wa Kenya kabla hamjamfikia @khaligraph jones the Og Kwanza mpitie kwangu niwape ngumi nyeusi michano ya kizagazaga oya @bando_tz kweli Una bandle za vita na ivi @younglunya_tzs umevaa mshipi vizuri @ni_nqesh ebu tusichokeshe @khaliqraph jones ebu mjibu trosa_ree,” he wrote.

Simple Boy’s challenge comes in the wake of a rap feud between Kenyan and Tanzanian rappers. The feud was ignited when Kenyan rapper Khaligraph Jones challenged Tanzanian musicians to a rap battle. Tanzanian rapper Rosa Ree responded to the challenge with a diss track, in which she called herself the best rapper in Africa.

Simple Boy’s challenge has been met with mixed reactions. Some people believe that he is simply trying to stir up controversy, while others believe that he is serious about the challenge. Only time will tell if Simple Boy will get his wish and face off against Tanzanian rappers in a rap battle.

Stivo Simple Boy, the songwriter of Freshi Barida, has revealed that he has a crush on upcoming singer Ngesh Kaveve Kazoze. In an interview, Stivo said that he would love to have Kaveve as his wife. This is despite the fact that he is still married to Grace Atieno, a woman he moved in with after breaking up with his ex-girlfriend Pritty Vishy.

Stivo added that he would take good care of Kaveve and make her a happy wife if she agrees to marry him. His revelation comes just a month after his wife Grace sent a stern warning to his ex-girlfriend Pritty, asking her to stay away from her man.

“Mimi ni Mondi wa Kenya. Kuna mwanadada pale naona amenivutia sana anaitwa Kaveve Kazoze. Kama ako single mwambie namtamani. Nataka aje awe mke wangu, na mambo ikuwe freshi,” he said.

In an interview with a local TV station, the artiste revealed that he had made the decision to sacrifice his own luxury in order to build his mother a house and dig a well for her.

Stivo Simple Boy emphasized the importance of prioritizing essential needs over extravagant expenses.

“There are two things,” he said. “Would you buy land or buy a car? A car is very costly, so I decided to build my mother a house in the countryside and dig a well for her.”

The musician also candidly admitted that his timidness and naivety in the past had played a role in his financial struggles.

“I was too shy to ask for money,” he said. “I was also too trusting of people, and I ended up being taken advantage of.”

Stivo Simple Boy’s story is a reminder that even those who achieve success can still face financial challenges.

However, his decision to prioritize his mother’s needs over his own is a testament to his character and his commitment to family.
