Kenyan rapper Stevo Simple Boy has been drawn into a fresh paternity controversy after his former manager, Machabe, made a startling claim about the musician’s son with Brenda.
Machabe alleged that Stevo is raising a child whom he claims is his biological son, insisting that the rapper is unaware of the alleged paternity situation.
Speaking during an interview with comedian Oga Obinna on the Riba Show, Machabe made the explosive allegation while discussing his past relationship with Stevo and Brenda.
“Stevo Simple Boy analea mtoto wangu. Mtoto ni wangu. Stevo Simple Boy anajua mtoto sio wake lakini hajui ni wangu. Stevo hakuwahi lala na Brenda, Brenda hakuwahi mpea.”
Machabe further maintained that he is willing to undergo a DNA test to establish whether the child is biologically his.
The claim, however, remains an allegation, and no DNA test results or independent evidence confirming Machabe’s assertion have been publicly established.
Machabe challenges Stevo over child’s paternity
Machabe’s remarks come months after Stevo and Brenda welcomed their first child together, a baby boy popularly known as Dragon Junior.
The couple publicly announced their pregnancy in June 2025, sharing photographs of themselves as they prepared to welcome their first child.
Stevo and Brenda later appeared to build a family together, with the couple eventually getting married in October 2025.
Reports at the time showed Brenda with a baby bump during their wedding celebrations.
Their relationship subsequently went through difficulties.
In March 2026, Stevo confirmed that he and Brenda had separated, although he said their priority remained taking care of their child.
By June, Stevo disclosed that the two had been living separately for several months while still working through issues surrounding their relationship.
He also indicated that plans were underway for the public to see their son.
Dragon Junior’s face finally unveiled
The paternity allegation comes shortly after Stevo and Brenda publicly unveiled their son’s face in September 2026.
The much-anticipated event took place at Alfajiri Meadow on Saturday, September 5, where fans were given an opportunity to see Dragon Junior.
The event itself generated considerable online discussion after attendees were reportedly charged Sh500 for regular entry and Sh1,000 for VIP access.
The child’s public appearance also came with a commercial milestone, with reports indicating that Dragon Junior secured a brand ambassador deal around the time of the face reveal.
Machabe says he is ready for DNA test
With Machabe now publicly claiming biological paternity, attention is likely to shift toward whether a DNA test will eventually be conducted.
His position is that a scientific test would settle the question and establish whether he is indeed the biological father.
For now, however, there is no publicly verified DNA result confirming Machabe’s claim.
The allegation also comes at a sensitive time for Stevo and Brenda, who have previously faced intense public scrutiny over their relationship, separation and co-parenting arrangements.
Stevo had previously maintained that despite his separation from Brenda, the welfare of their child remained important to both of them.
Paternity claim sparks fresh questions
Machabe’s comments are therefore likely to reignite conversations surrounding Stevo, Brenda and their young family, particularly because the allegation involves a former manager who says he personally knows the circumstances surrounding the relationship.
However, until a DNA test is conducted and the results are independently established, Machabe’s statement remains a claim rather than proof of the child’s biological parentage.
The latest development adds another unexpected chapter to Stevo Simple Boy’s highly publicised personal life, with fans now waiting to see whether the parties involved will address the paternity allegation publicly or pursue a DNA test to settle the matter.
