Otile Brown is saddened by entertainment industry people who claim that Kenyan artistes are broke. The star took to Instagram live to air his opinion saying that these are people who are not artistes that are speaking about the issue.
He went on to ask Khaligraph Jones who had responded to the issue in an interview to stop giving them attention.
“I am telling Jones not to address it because these are the same people that have ruined the game for thinking they know so much. I’ve seen people ruin the game for no reason.”
“To run this game is not easy,” he added
Brown went on to say that Kenyan artistes are very successful.
“It is not easy as y’all think. Let me surprise you. The funny thing is, Kenyan artistes are some of the most successful in Africa.”

This comes days after comedian Alex Mathenge said Kenyan celebs are broke.
“It is very hard to have a celebrity culture in Kenya. ‘celebs’ hawana kitu. They live in rentals, the car is on loan, it doesn’t have fuel or it’s not theirs. Influencers have tried calling themselves Brand Ambassadors but it still does not work.”
“Corporates support talents by giving out hoodies and freebies! Fans on the other hand their skiza tunes are Bongo or Naija!
“Let us not blame celebrities all the time, some times they lack the confidence to flex in front of the camera when they know they have rent arrears and baby mamas are hustling them for upkeep money or expose them to bloggers upon failure,”
