During their conversation, Salasya expressed concern about individuals had exploited Stivo’s fame for personal gain.
“I have seen so many people meeting this guy, coming and going, how do you call a person to give him a million yet you are not a millionaire? They are just using your name to trend.”

Obinna claimed he had facilitated a business deal with a betting company, which had promised Stivo a one-year contract to alleviate his financial struggles.
However, Stevo failed to attend the interview scheduled by the company, leading to disappointment for both Obinna and potential employers.
Expressing his disappointment in Stivo, his management, and a friend, Oga Obinna vented his frustration, sharing a recorded phone conversation with Stivo, in which the artist explained his absence by stating he was engaged in an interview with a local YouTuber.
Obinna expressed his dismay, stating:
“Helping Kenyan celebrities is a tough job. It is not a job for people who are faint-hearted. 99% of the celebrities I have tried to help and secure bags for have disappointed me. What is wrong with us? The main thing that is ailing the entertainment industry is indiscipline.”
