Stevo Simple Boy, a popular rap artist from Kenya, recently made a statement on his Instagram story claiming that he does not know who KRG The Don is, despite being tagged in numerous posts alongside the dancehall artist. Stevo expressed confusion as to why they are being compared musically and asked, “Not in bad faith, who is KRG? I have been tagged a lot on Instagram and why are we being compared musically?”
KRG has recently faced backlash online with many Kenyans claiming that they do not know any of his songs, despite his claims of being an artist. Some have even suggested that he should embrace comedy instead of releasing songs, as that is what he has been doing recently. KRG responded to these criticisms by suggesting that his enemies are behind the negative narrative, and accused Dufla, Kiddo, and Casipool of paying people to spread rumors about him.
The music industry in Kenya is highly competitive, and it is not uncommon for artists to face criticism and backlash from both fans and fellow musicians. It remains to be seen how this situation will develop and whether Stevo and KRG will continue to be compared musically.
