Kenyan media personality Dr Ofweneke has taken a major step toward making peace with musician Stivo Simple Boy after personally visiting the rapper at his home following days of intense public backlash surrounding a controversial podcast episode.
The emotional visit came shortly after widespread criticism erupted online after Andrew Kibe, while appearing on Ofweneke’s podcast, made harsh remarks targeting Stivo Simple Boy’s physical appearance and even dragged the singer’s future children into the conversation.
The controversial episode quickly sparked outrage among Kenyans on social media, with many criticizing Dr Ofweneke for laughing during the interview instead of immediately shutting down the remarks. As pressure mounted, the comedian pulled down the podcast episode and publicly apologized before deciding to visit Stivo in person.
During the visit, Dr Ofweneke arrived carrying several household essentials, including groceries and diapers, in what many interpreted as a genuine peace offering aimed at repairing the damaged relationship.
Speaking directly to Stivo, Ofweneke admitted he regretted how the situation unfolded and explained that his laughter during the podcast was never meant to mock the musician.
According to Ofweneke, the reaction happened involuntarily in the moment, but he acknowledged that it came across as insensitive and accepted full responsibility for failing to handle the situation better as both a host and a senior figure in the entertainment industry.
In an emotional moment during their conversation, Ofweneke reassured Stivo that physical appearance does not define a person’s worth, identity, or the positive influence they carry.
The meeting later shifted into a deeply personal and spiritual moment when the two public figures stood together inside Stivo’s living room and shared a prayer, signaling an effort to move past the controversy.
Stivo Simple Boy responded with humility while opening up about how deeply the online insults affected him and his family.
The singer firmly condemned bringing innocent children into public ridicule, making it clear that while people may criticize him personally, family members should never become targets of online attacks.
He also reflected on years of dealing with judgment about his appearance, saying he has long accepted himself and never had control over how he was born.
