Brenda Akinyi, the wife of popular Kenyan musician Stivo Simple Boy, has revealed that she was preparing to travel to the United Kingdom before meeting the artist and deciding to stay in Kenya. Speaking in a recent interview, Brenda said her plans to relocate changed completely after she met Stivo, describing their connection as unexpected but life-changing.
According to Brenda, she had completed all her travel arrangements and was only waiting for her visa approval when she met the Freshi Barida hitmaker through a mutual friend. Their friendship quickly grew into a relationship, leading her to postpone her travel plans. “I was ready to go abroad for work and a new life, but when I met Stivo, everything changed. I saw something genuine in him,” she said.
Brenda added that despite public criticism and constant scrutiny over their relationship, she has remained supportive of her husband and believes in his talent and humility. She explained that Stivo’s kind nature and honesty made her choose love over her initial ambitions abroad.
Fans have shared mixed reactions online, with some praising her for standing by Stivo despite challenges, while others questioned her decision to give up her UK dream.
Brenda concluded by saying she has no regrets and that their bond has grown stronger over time. “I believe everything happens for a reason. Meeting Stivo was meant to be,” she said, expressing pride in being part of his musical journey.
