Beef or hidden feelings?
Like many Kenyan celebrities, the exchange might be about clout-chasing or unresolved bitterness, or the back-and-forth could hint that they still have lingering feelings for each other.
Whether it’s real beef, hidden emotions, or just social media drama, one thing is clear: Pritty Vishy and Stevo Simple Boy still know how to command attention online.
For now, fans can only wait to see if the clash escalates or if it surprisingly leads to reconciliation.
Genesis of the online altercation
The altercation started after Stevo dismissed Vishy’s celebrity status.
Speaking during an interview posted on Sunday, January 18, 2026, the singer laughed off the suggestion that Vishy is a celebrity, questioning what, in his view, qualifies her for such a title in Kenya’s entertainment space.
“Kwani Pritty ni celeb?” Stevo asked while laughing. “Celeb wa wapi? Ni kitu gani anafanya hapa Kenya mpaka useme huyu ni celeb?”
When the interviewer pointed out that Pritty Vishy is an actress and Stevo’s former girlfriend, the Freshibarida hitmaker remained unconvinced, suggesting that her public recognition stemmed mainly from their past relationship.
“Apart from Stevo Simple Boy, nini ingine unaeza sema unamjua useme huyu ni Pritty Vishy?” he posed.
Stevo further questioned comparisons between them, arguing that their levels of influence are not the same, especially online.
“Ukicompare mimi na yeye utaenda kwa nani? Nani akipost content unafurahia?” he added.
On her part, Vishy retaliated and said that she was embarrassed to call the rapper her ex.
In a statement shared on her official Instagram account on Sunday, January 18, 2026, Vishy explained that she was ashamed to be associated with the rapper, adding that admitting they were romantically involved makes her feel embarrassed.
“watu wengine ni aibu kuwaita ex wako,” Vishy said.
In addition, Vishy denied using their past relationship for fame and to gain social media followers, adding that her current influence and growth are from her own hard work and not Stevo’s popularity.
The content creator also said that if Stevo’s claim that she used his influence for her own gain were true, then his previous girlfriend should be famous too, as their relationship was also public.
“I used our relationship to bag followers azin btw si hadi pia Grace angefanya the same ama? yooh I worked to be the person I’m now,” she added.
