Kibera-based artiste Stephen Otieno Adera, popularly known as Stevo Simple Boy, has returned to his digital platforms, including YouTube, after resolving conflicts with his former management.
In a recent press statement, the singer expressed his gratitude that the issues between him and his previous management have been successfully resolved. He said that he is relieved to have regained control over his online presence.
Stevo Simple Boy also thanked his former manager, Chingiboy Mstado, for facilitating the process. He said that he is excited to start fresh and reconnect with his audience through his digital platforms.
The artiste’s relationship with his former record label, MIB (Men In Business), came under scrutiny when the label terminated his music contract in June. The move was attributed to unresolved disagreements between the parties.
The fallout was brought to public attention when Stevo’s wife, Grace Atieno, disclosed his financial struggles in an interview with YouTuber Vincent Mboya. She revealed that many people mistakenly assumed Stevo managed his own TikTok and Instagram accounts. She also highlighted the challenges of reaching out to him and the misconceptions surrounding his financial situation.
MIB officially announced the termination of Stevo Simple Boy’s music contract on July 31, citing irreconcilable differences. The label asserted its commitment to a legal and orderly termination process.
Acknowledging the gravity of the situation, MIB addressed the allegations made by Stevo Simple Boy’s wife. The label clarified that its decision was not solely prompted by these allegations, emphasizing its desire to provide the artiste with the freedom to shape a prosperous future.
Despite the controversies surrounding the termination, MIB remained focused on granting Stevo Simple Boy the autonomy he needed.
Stevo Simple Boy Looks Forward to Renewed Success

The singer is confident that he can regain his popularity and continue to make music that people love. He is grateful for the support of his fans and is excited to start this new chapter in his career.
