• Mumbi Maina, the singer's new manager also revealed that she had known him for eight years.

Singer Otile Brown has finally revealed the reason he parted ways with ex-manager Noriega. Brown who is now managed by Mumbi Maina said he and Noriega reached a point of no return.

Speaking to Willy M Tuva, the 'Deja Vu' singer said, "We had been together for a long time but it reached a point where I felt like he wanted to be his own boss."

Adding, "There reaches a time where someone would want to be a star in their own right, but you can still have an understanding and still get the money. You get that there are people when they get to that stage, they are ready to fumble the bag just because they are on their feelings.

I'm not saying that's the case but I felt like he wanted to do his own CEO. And when we split, that's exactly what he said."

Otile however gave Noriega his flowers describing him as a very good guy and one of the most loyal people he's ever worked with.

"I love my people, and if you see I've let go of you, then we've reached a point of no return."

He admitted that they had not spoken for a while since their split. "I can't say he wronged me, I can say he let me down."

Mumbi Maina, his new manager said she has known the singer for eight years. "I've never managed an artiste but I've been a manager in the corporate world."

On whether the two are a couple, she said, "There's nothing. He's a cool guy it's just work."

Otile added, "Kinachonifurahisha mimi ni ukomavu wa akili na mawazo yake."

Asked about being in love, the singer said, "We can't fumble the bag though. You know what that leads to though?"

Mumbi concluded, "Sioni ikifanyika lakini ya Mungu ni mengi ya kuku ni mayai."
