Simple Boy: Call me ‘ugly’ but my looks earn me good money and fame

Youth who just released a new song, says his face is his selling point, and that the more people call him ugly the more famous he gets.

Fame first came to Steven Otieno, alias Stevo Simple boy in form of a meme. Someone took his mugshot, inserted a cheeky message and shared it on Facebook, teasing him for his looks.

The year was 2016. Within a short time, there were variations of the meme, but the theme remained the same: they thought his face was interesting. The comments on his photo bordered on cyber bullying, but Otieno says he stood unnerved despite the many times people said he resembles a baboon.
