The musician, who has often spoken publicly about perseverance throughout his own career, reminded young creatives that success rarely comes without challenges.
His remarks echoed a common message within the entertainment industry, where many established artistes have previously shared stories of overcoming rejection before achieving recognition.
A light-hearted appeal to artists and DJs
Stevo also used the opportunity to promote his music in his trademark humorous style, inviting fellow musicians to collaborate with him while encouraging DJs to include his songs in their playlists.
"Kwa wasanii kama mnataka nyota yenyu ing'ae ufanye collabo na mimi, na kwa ma-DJ mkitaka baraka zikuje, mu-mix ngoma zangu na mtapata baraka," he added.

The playful remarks quickly attracted attention online, with many followers interpreting them as Stevo's signature blend of humour and motivation.
The advice comes after Pritty Vishy's emotional DJ debut.
Stevo's post comes days after Pritty Vishy recounted her difficult first experience behind the DJ decks.
The content creator explained that faulty equipment at the venue forced her to perform using only one side of the DJ controller, making it difficult to execute her prepared playlist.
She also admitted that panic and nervousness affected her concentration, leaving her emotional after the performance despite support from her team and fellow DJs.
Pritty later said the experience had taught her valuable lessons about preparation, resilience and handling setbacks as a beginner.
Social media reacts
Stevo's advice generated humorous reactions from social media users, many linking his comments to Pritty Vishy's recent experience.
Instagram user @v.o.k.a.l.i joked:
"Upcoming DJ's wanamanisha Pritty Vishy 😂😂😂."
