Kenyan artist Stevo Simple Boy has spoken out after controversial commentator Andrew Kibe questioned his right to be a parent. The online exchange followed the birth of Stevo’s son in November 2025 with his ex-partner, Brenda.
The Source of the Conflict
Andrew Kibe is known for his unfiltered and often provocative opinions on social media platforms. In a recent podcast interview with Dr Ofweneke, he directed his criticism toward the "Mihadarati" singer regarding his new role as a father.
Kibe’s comments were blunt and highly personal in nature. He suggested that people like the artist should not be allowed to reproduce and bring children into the world.
"Hatuwezi kuwa na watu kama Stevo Simple Boy wanapata watoto. Huyo anafaa akitoka hapo akizaliwa anapigwa vasectomy. Come to life and live with nothing; we cannot have weakness.”
The commentator's remarks sparked immediate reactions across social media circles. Many fans felt the attack on Stevo's family was unnecessary and crossed a line.
Stevo Simple Boy’s Emotional Response
Stevo Simple Boy did not stay silent in the face of these public insults. He took to social media to post a direct and dignified message to the commentator. The singer expressed deep hurt that his innocent child was brought into a public dispute.
He emphasised his commitment to his family despite any personal criticisms directed at him by outsiders.
Stevo wrote a firm response to address the situation:
"Andrew Kibe, kama una tatizo na mimi, zungumza kuhusu mimi. Lakini usimhusishe mtoto wangu ambaye hana kosa lolote. Sijawahi kuchagua nilivyozaliwa, lakini nimechagua kuwa mtu mwenye heshima."
Focusing on Family and Work
Despite the vitriol, Stevo maintained a composed and respectful stance in his public statement. He stated that he would not respond to hatred with more hatred in return. Instead, he intends to focus on his music career and providing a stable life for his new son. He noted that he has worked hard to build his family and conduct himself with honour.
"Watoto wote ni baraka, na hakuna mtoto anayestahili kudharauliwa kwa sababu ya mwonekano wake au wazazi wake."
