Kenyan musician Stephen Otieno Adera, popularly known as Stevo Simple Boy, recently announced that he would charge Tanzanian star Diamond Platnumz a hefty Ksh20 million for a music collaboration.
This bold statement came during a live recording of the Churchill Show at the Carnivore grounds on Friday night, August 9, 2024.
In an engaging video shared on his Instagram stories, Stevo Simple Boy asserted that the collaboration fee is non-negotiable.
He highlighted his rising prominence in Kenya and made it clear that the collaboration with Diamond Platnumz would not proceed unless the quoted amount is met. “Diamond atulie. Hapa kuna Diamond wa Kenya. Diamond ndio amefika lakini inafaa ajue pia kuna Diamond mwingine Kenya anakuja hatari. Asubiri… Collabo naeza mlipisha Ksh20 million… Kama sio hivo hakuna collabo,” Stevo Simple Boy stated.
Stevo Simple Boy’s message was not only conveyed through his Instagram stories but also through his official Instagram account, where he tagged Diamond Platnumz.
His insistence on the Ksh20 million fee underscores his confidence in his value and his current standing in the music industry.
Adding to the buzz surrounding him, Stevo Simple Boy made headlines with his recent transformation.
At the Churchill Show event, he showcased his new look, which included a Brazilian B**t Lift (BBL) hairline that he had acquired from his new barber, Geometric Barber.
This new hairstyle marks his second makeover in recent times, following a hair and beard implant he had previously flaunted.
His fashion choices have also caught the public’s eye. During the Friday night event, Stevo Simple Boy sported a distinctive denim jacket with patches, creating a layered look that resembled a shirt and jacket combined.
His trouser followed a similar design, contributing to his unique style. Prior to the event, he proudly posted his outfit on social media, declaring that every artist must maintain a smart appearance.
He even crowned himself as the “African King” in his post: “Am the African king, msanii lazima ungare.”Stevo Simple Boy’s recent transformation and bold statements have added to his growing popularity.
On July 25, 2024, he had previously drawn attention with a striking resemblance to American rapper Rick Ross, sporting an all-black leather ensemble.
This was a notable departure from his May 20, 2024, appearance, where he wore semi-ragged denim jeans and a woolen top, which had also sparked considerable buzz among his followers.
