Origin of Bien’s public feud with Otile Brown

The feud began way back in June 2024 when Bien criticized Otile for claiming that Kenya lacks international artistes.

After a brief pause, the feud erupted after Otile Brown fired the first salvo in which he criticized Bien’s social media behaviour claiming that the singer resorts to the same to make his songs popular.

He strongly advised the Sauti Sol singer to shun theatrics and focus on his latest song in which he collaborated with Nigerian star Adekunle and Prince Indah.

This saw Bien fire back questioning Otile Brown’s financial standing and his status to offer advice.

“Otile, you don’t have any money… who are you talking like? He released an album that didn’t go far,” Bien remarked.

Otile responded swiftly stating that he would never argue with people who equate the popularity of a song to its quality.

“I can’t argue with people who think any popular song is a good song, and that’s how you ruined the game. Now you have to shake your hips on social media to push a product that will only last for a week or two.

“Look at your last hit song and look at mine,” he declared. “It’s still the biggest hit in the country in terms of comments. It’s the best music video in the country for almost a year, and I didn’t need to shake my waist on social media.” Otile posted.
