Remarkably, Stivo disclosed in an interview that his Tanzanian supporters frequently refer to him as the "Diamond of Kenya" and call Diamond Platinumz their favourite musician. Stivo has been inspired by this favourable comparison to write songs that have positively affected the internet, similar to the success of Diamond Platinumz's music.


Kibra-born rapper Stivo has recently encountered a series of challenges, mainly revolving around his former management. Tensions escalated when his contract with them was terminated, leading to disputes over the ownership and control of his social media accounts. These disagreements have added to the complexities Stivo is currently facing in his career.

 Stivo has asserted that the refusal to hand over control of his social media accounts has significantly impacted his musical consistency. The ongoing dispute with his former management has created obstacles in his career, and as a result, he is contemplating taking legal action against his former bosses to resolve the matter. The situation has brought added stress and uncertainty to his professional journey, prompting him to seek a legal resolution to protect his artistic endeavours.


Stivo is a gospel rapper who wants to appeal to a broad audience. His breakthrough song "Vijana 'tuwache Mihadarati'" received a great deal of praise from fans in both Kenya and Tanzania.
