Recording and performing gospel artist Stevo Simple has elicited mixed reactions from netizens following a TikTok video he posted trying to show off his celebrity status.

In a TikTok video shared on his official page the artist gifted a young fan Sh. 100 for recognizing one of his songs.

Stevo could be seen alighting from a packed vehicle as the young boy waited on him. They say hey to each other and after a short exchange of pleasantries Stevo asks the kid to name one of his songs.

"Unapenda ngoma yangu gani (which one of my songs do you know) ?" And the young lad quickly responds with 'Freshi Barida,"

The artist seems impressed and praises the kid as the two go on to talk inaudibly for a while before Stevo who was holding his phone in one hand pulls out a Sh 100 note and gives it to the kid.

"Kula hiyo ya leo," Stevo could be heard telling the young boy.

A man who was in the vehicle with Simple Boy alights and says hey to the boy as well.

"Tutakuja baadaye alafu tukununulie ka lunch. Uko tu hapa around?" The man can be heard asking the kid who responds by saying he'll be waiting for the two to return.

Captioning the video Simple Boy wrote, "mimi na Khaligraph Jones ndio marapa wakubwa hii Kenya,"

Netizens have been left torn in response to the video. Some felt the money given was so little that it bordered disrespect while others warned Stevo from trying to hard to fit in.

Below are a few comments sampled from his post;
