The rapper from Kibra has recently encountered challenges, particularly in his relationship with his former management following the termination of his contract. Stivo is contemplating legal action against his ex-bosses for their refusal to relinquish control of his social media accounts, a situation he believes has hindered his musical consistency.
In response to comparisons between him and Diamond Platinumz, Stivo, a gospel rapper whose music is designed for all age groups, emphasized the widespread support he has received in both Kenya and Tanzania since his breakthrough song “Vijana ‘tuwache Mihadarati’.” In an interview, Stivo revealed that during his visits to Tanzania, fans often label him as the “Diamond of Kenya,” a designation that has motivated him to produce impactful songs, akin to the success of Diamond Platinumz.
Expressing gratitude to Diamond Platinumz for creating what he describes as “clean content,” Stivo drew parallels between his own music and that of the Bongo star.
