Musician Otile Brown has been generating significant attention, both nationally and internationally, through a series of interviews conducted across various media platforms.A recent conversation with content creator Oga Obinna on his YouTube channel has ignited a range of reactions, particularly due to Otile’s apparent provocation of artists from neighboring Tanzania….CONTINUE READING
During the interview, Otile boldly asserted that the income he generates in Kenya would enable him to lead a princely life in Tanzania, residing in a magnificent palace. He emphasized that the rent he pays for a house in Kenya could secure him a superior dwelling in Tanzania, resembling a regal palace.
“I probably pay rent for a house here in Kenya, that rent money, if I were in Tanzania, I would be living in a palace,” remarked the artist, prompting Obinna to inquire about the comparative affordability of housing in Tanzania.
Despite Otile’s statements seemingly devoid of explicit disparagement towards his counterparts, some figures in the Tanzanian music industry perceived them as mocking fellow artists.
This is not the first instance of Otile stirring controversy with Tanzanian artists. In a prior episode of the same interview, he gained attention by asserting that no artist from the entire East African region had achieved international standards. He went further to claim that even Diamond, often considered the most internationally acclaimed artist, had not reached such heights.
It’s important to highlight that Otile has a history of sparking controversy among his Tanzanian peers. In a previous incident, he mocked the chains worn by artists Diamond and Mbosso, alleging that their gold jewelry was, in fact, fake.
