The outspoken artist made the revelation through a question-and-answer session on her Instagram stories, where a fan requested that she releases more songs.
In response, Noti Flow explained that while she enjoys making music, she does it purely for fun and not as a source of income.
She claimed that the Kenyan music industry lacks the financial structure to sustain her lifestyle or meet her daily expenses.
This, she said, contributes to the irregularity of her music releases. According to Noti Flow, her fans receive new music whenever she feels inspired to record and release it.
“I don’t even have a management, so y’all get it when y’all get it,” she added, using a laughing emoji to lighten her statement.
Several musicians have previously raised similar concerns, citing low earnings from streaming platforms, limited live show opportunities, and minimal corporate sponsorships.
Industry analysts have often pointed out that while Kenya boasts a rich pool of musical talent, the lack of strong management structures, publishing rights enforcement, and sustainable revenue models continues to hinder growth.
Many artists end up depending on brand deals, appearances, or side hustles to supplement their income.
Noti, whose real name is Natalie Florence, rose to fame through her rap music and participation in popular Kenyan reality television shows.
Over the years, she has released several singles and collaborations, gaining a loyal fan base online. Her social media presence has also played a key role in maintaining her relevance in Kenya’s entertainment scene.

Despite her intermittent music releases, she continues to enjoy significant online engagement and has built a personal brand that extends beyond music.
Her recent remarks have reignited discussion about the sustainability of music careers in Kenya and the need for better support systems for artists.
