Kenyan artist Savara made waves after appearing on the SNS podcast, hosted by Stephanie Ng’ang’a, where he participated in a game involving a spinning wheel with different questions.
During the session, Savara was asked to name a Kenyan artist he considers the most overrated. Given less than a minute to respond before facing a penalty shot, he quickly answered:
“Otile Brown.”
When asked if he wanted to elaborate, Savara simply raised his hands, signaling that he did not want to stir more controversy.
Otile Brown Fires Back
Otile Brown did not take the comment lightly. Responding via social media, he expressed frustration at constantly being dragged into industry drama.
“The obsession. If I’m not a threat, why do y’all keep dissing me? I love it, Savaraaaa,” he wrote.
He also posted a sarcastic video in which he mockingly sang Savara’s hit song ‘Sianda’ before addressing his fans.
“Niggas are still hating. I can’t get out of their way. I never wanted to be King, but I know I am just a vessel. If you don’t feel God in my music, check your soul.”
Otile Brown Compares Himself to Burna Boy
Otile further compared himself to Nigerian superstar Burna Boy, suggesting that true artistry comes from passion and sincerity.
“There’s a reason Burna Boy is at the top. It’s about passion. We don’t just sing; we express what we feel. And nobody can do it better than someone who has lived through it.”
Fan Reactions & Industry Buzz
The exchange has ignited a heated debate among fans, with some supporting Savara’s bold honesty, while others argue that Otile Brown deserves his success.
As the two artists continue to trend, it remains to be seen if this will escalate further or if the industry will move past the drama.
