Angry Cassypool spills beef with Bien, accuses him of insulting Ruto
By Ascah Mwango, August 2, 2025Kenyan entertainer Cassypool has made it clear that he has no plans to apologise to artiste Bien-Aimé Baraza, saying the singer crossed the line when he disrespected President William Ruto and singer Otile Brown.
Speaking to a local YouTuber on Friday, August 1, 2025, Cassypool opened up about the origin of their feud, saying it began when Bien made politically charged remarks during one of his performances.
“Beef yangu na Bien ilianzia penye alisema ‘Ruto Must Go’ kwa show yake badala ya kuimba mziki yake. Unaenda kutusi president ambaye ni mtu wangu, rais wa nchi,” Cassypool said.
According to Cassypool, Bien crossed a line by chanting “Ruto Must Go” at a show instead of focusing on his music. He felt personally offended, as he considers President Ruto both a national leader and a personal ally.
Cassypool further criticised Bien’s recent altercation with Otile Brown, describing it as a display of arrogance. He claimed that Bien’s actions revealed a sense of entitlement that did not match his standing in the music industry.
In Cassypool’s view, Otile Brown is the leading artiste in East and Central Africa, far surpassing Bien in terms of popularity and success. He dismissed Bien’s fanbase as misguided, saying they praise someone who does not measure up to Otile’s level of talent or achievements.
The entertainer made it clear that Bien’s conduct has left no room for reconciliation, asserting that any apology would be undeserved.
“Number two, kiburi alipandisha juzi, kuvuruga na Otile Brown, mtu ambaye amemshinda na hitmaker. Otile Brown ni msanii number moja kwenye East and Central Africa. Yule paka wenu mnamsifia kuwa simba wenu, hafikii, ni mtoto kwa Otile,” he added.
He added that Bien’s behaviour, especially his recent clash with Otile Brown, showed arrogance.
Bien, Otile Brown feud
The feud between Bien and Otile Brown started after Otile’s manager, Mumbi Maina, suddenly resigned on Monday, July 28, 2025. Not long after her announcement, Bien posted his hit song Wahala on Instagram, with the lyrics “All my enemies are suffering.”
The timing of the post led many to believe it was aimed at Otile. Otile did not hold back in his response. He accused Bien of being loud, fake, and attention-seeking.
“That person just had to comment. Always talking. This wannabe international guy thinks he made it off a little Kenyan favour that landed in his lap. Over what songs? Those TikTok challenges that last only two weeks?” Otile said.
He continued by warning Bien that his fame could disappear at any moment.
“You cannot win on grace alone. Always wants to be seen, always has something to say on every blog post. You know I can snatch that spot any time, right? It only takes one right move from me and one wrong move from you. This is Kenya, and you know your people well,” Otile stated.
Otile also criticised Bien’s appearance and sense of style.
“I am not a hater. You are doing well, but try and look the part. Moisturise those lips that cannot go a minute without moving. Dress properly and stop carrying local accessories like those cheap village earrings. There is no authenticity there,” the singer said.
Adding;
“You call yourself international, but I repeat, you can never beat me. Even if you win a Grammy, I do not recognise you. Too much bluff. Enjoy it while it lasts. This is the reason I do not respect that guy. He is the biggest hypocrite.”
