Stivo Simple Boy Starts YouTube Journey Afresh, Claims Former Manager Refused To Give Back Accounts

• Singer Stivo Simple Boy has chosen to embark on a fresh beginning following his separation from manager Vaga due to what he describes as mishandling of affairs
• He told TUKO.co.ke that he decided on a new start after his former manager declined to give him access to his original social media and YouTube profiles
• According to him, he was not willing to comply with Vaga's demands that he makes a public apology and would rather rebuild his digital presence afresh

Kibera singer Stivo Simple Boy has embarked on a fresh journey on YouTube after alleging that his former manager refused to give him access to his official accounts.

The singer, whose real name is Stephen Otieno, became a household name when he released his viral hit "Vijana Tuache Mihadarati" in 2019.

It not only earned him national recognition but also set him on a rollercoaster journey through the Kenyan music industry, one that has not been easy for him.

Stivo had bitter fallout with Vaga

He has often hit headlines with claims of being mismanaged, underpaid, or used by industry stakeholders to feather their own nests.

In the most recent development, Stivo had a bitter fallout with manager Vaga after accusing him of reneging on the contract they signed.

Vaga went ahead and issued a statement indicating that their contract had been terminated and he would give back the logins to the singer's accounts.

Over a month since the termination, Stivo laments that the former manager is yet to relinquish the accounts, which is dragging him behind.

Starting afresh

He exclusively told TUKO.co.ke that he has decided to let go of the original accounts and restart the journey afresh.

Stivo indicates that Vaga's condition for giving him back the logins was the he issues a public apology, something he was not willing to do.

"Watu wanifollow kwa account yangu mpya na wasubscribe kwa YouTube yangu najiita Stevo Simple Boy 1" (Fans should follow me on the new account and subscribe to the new YouTube channel Stevo Simple Boy 1), he said.

The crooner added that he is already gearing up to release new music which will be shared on the new accounts.

Stivo suffering financially

During an earlier interview, the Freshi Barida songwriter complained that he was unable to pay rent nor feed himself yet that was the work of his manager.

He came forward to dispute that he was okay as stated in a video doing rounds on social media, explaining that the video was recorded under duress.

Stivo alleged that his manager threatened him minutes before the camera started rolling, forcing him to pretend all was okay when it wasn't.
