Following reports of clout chasing after Chira’s death, Otile Brown responds angrily

Award-winning Kenyan singer Otile Brown has dismissed accusations of trying to gain attention from the tragic passing of TikToker Brian Chira.

“What relevance does my album have to the deceased? If you know me, you know I only spread love. Personally, I didn’t even know him. It was the fans who brought him to my attention during a live session with a Tanzanian blogger, urging me to sing the song,” Otile clarified.

He emphasized that his decision to perform at Chira’s burial was based on discovering that Chira’s favorite song was “One Call.”

“After some investigation, I realized he was a huge fan of my music. If you check the comments on ‘One Call’ on YouTube, you’ll see they’re all about him. It’s not about me; it’s the fans showing their love,” Otile explained.

Known for his reserved nature, Otile reiterated that his gesture of performing was simply a display of appreciation.

“Those who know me understand that I don’t typically show support publicly, but in this case, I was just expressing gratitude,” he stated.

Furthermore, Otile pointed out that regardless of his attendance at the burial, “One Call” continued to gain popularity.

“The song is still thriving, with around 200k views per day. So, whether I had shown up or not, the song’s success remains intact. It’s amusing that people would think otherwise. What exactly are they expecting?” Otile questioned.

On March 26, 2024, Otile Brown performed “One Call” at Chira’s burial ceremony.
