Popular comedian Eric Omondi has come to the rescue of poor Kenyan rapper Stevo Simple Boy after reading his story went viral.
“I saw the interview and heard their words. My brother’s story is very sad; that is why I am asking the government not to tax content creators. Tunaomba gava wasifinye hawa vijana; hakuna kazi. Tukishatengeneza hizo kazi mnakuja kuchukua hio pesa,” said Eric.
Grace Atieno, Stivo Simple Boy’s wife alleged that the singer does not have any funds at the moment and was struggling to make ends meet.
Eric claimed that he fights for the rights of musicians, content creators and Kenyans in general.
“Tumekuja support Simple Boy na shopping na kuna vitu tumepanga kufanya,” he said.
“I am so happy; grateful to Eric for coming as it was my prayer. Thanks to all Kenyans who are helping us as well,” she said.
Simple Boy also apologised to Eric for a dis track he did to insult him.
Eric now wants Simple Boy to go back to the studio and collaborate n a hit track with upcoming artiste, Ngesh.
