Kenyan R&B star Otile Brown has left fans amused after sharing a humorous video on his Instagram Stories in which he dramatically falls to the floor after a fan mistakenly names Bien and Sauti Sol’s hit Suzanna instead of his own song Samantha as her favourite.
The playful clip quickly made the rounds online, with many fans praising Otile’s sense of humour while others joked about the long-running musical rivalry between chart-topping hits.
After posting the video, the singer followed it up with another message explaining the misunderstanding.
“I thought she meant the ‘opp’ song 😂 kumbe Samantha.” – Otile Brown.

The reference to the “opp” song appeared to acknowledge Suzanna, one of Sauti Sol’s biggest hits, fronted by Bien, before Otile realised the fan had intended to mention his own song, Samantha.

Two hit songs at the centre of the joke

The confusion stemmed from the similar-sounding titles "Samantha" by Otile Brown and "Suzanna" by Sauti Sol. Both songs became widely recognised across East Africa and remain among the artists’ best-known releases.
