Otile openly admitted that while he was already making waves in the music scene, Sidika's prominence as a socialite catalyzed his burgeoning career to new and exciting heights.
"I've always given her flowers. It's only right. I was big but not all the way. Being that she was a popping socialite at the time, it kinda fueled it," Brown revealed.
The natural progression of Otile Brown's music career during his relationship with Sidika highlighted the seamless synergy between the two.
Brown openly recognized the substantial lift that Sidika's presence gave to his career, affirming that their collaboration played a vital role in propelling him to prominence within the music industry.

Despite the conclusion of their romantic involvement, Brown demonstrated unwavering determination and resilience in his pursuit of musical endeavors, leading to a continued upward trajectory in his career.
He clarified that despite public perceptions, he remained true to himself and his identity, asserting, "I'm not a kiki person. I know who I am and I believe in who I am".
In a fearless declaration, Otile Brown issued a challenge to his East African peers, urging them to aspire to attain international recognition in the music industry.
He stressed that currently, there is no East African artist who has achieved global acclaim on par with Nigerian singer Ruger.
According to Brown, the East African music scene has yet to produce an artist of Ruger's caliber, who has achieved remarkable success in a relatively short span.
He encouraged fellow artists to acknowledge the competitive nature of the industry and to diligently strive towards elevating East African music onto the global stage.
While acknowledging the challenges ahead, Brown remains optimistic about the potential of East African artists to make a mark on the global music scene.
