2 mins read

In a surprising twist in the ongoing feud between musicians, Bien has reached out to fellow artist Otile Brown in a bid to restore peace.

The heartfelt gesture comes as part of a broader attempt to mend what had escalated into a highly publicized war of words.

Taking to Instagram on the evening of August 1, 2024, Bien shared his thoughts with his followers, publicly acknowledging the rift.

“I’ve come to my senses. I have no business beefing with a hard-working brother. I’d like to apologize for anything offensive I’ve said or done to diminish our art. Sorry Otile,” he wrote, signaling a desire to move past the drama.

Bien’s olive branch follows a contrasting statement from KRG the Don, who had not shied away from criticizing Otile in the backdrop of the ongoing feud.

KRG expressed his thoughts during a recent interview, where he voiced concerns regarding Otile Brown’s perceived lack of support for up-and-coming artists.

“That one is selfish. A selfish individual. How many people has Bien delivered? He has given us stars like Nviiri and Bensoul, collaborating with smaller artists to help them rise. I don’t like someone who uses others to climb the ladder without giving back,” KRG stated, emphasizing his belief in the responsibility that successful artists have to their peers.

In a particularly pointed remark, KRG suggested to Otile that embracing fatherhood could offer him a deeper understanding of responsibility, hinting at a broader conversation about accountability within the music industry.

This exchange of sentiments highlights the ongoing challenges within the music world, especially regarding collaboration and mutual support among artists.

As the industry navigates these complexities, KRG’s comments underscore a growing consensus that those who have achieved success should strive to uplift their fellow musicians.
