Otile Brown is the latest musician to publicly support Willy Paul’s rant the other day after it was alleged that the music governing body in the country, MCSK(Music Copyright Society of Kenya) stole some monies intended to be disbursed to musicians in the country.
Other established artistes who have publicly open up about the situation are Khaligraph Jones, King Kaka, and Jovial to mention just a few.
Otile Brown who currently holds the record in Boomplay across the East African region for the most streamed album under the duration of 3 months has come forward to write to the President, Uhuru Kenyatta about the current predicament musicians are currently in right now.
On the already-deleted post, Otile Brown asked the President to at least step in and help the situation asking the President to at least have the senior people at MCSK jailed and their properties auctioned to at least cover what they stole from artistes in the country.

Read the open letter Otile Brown wrote to President Uhuru Kenyatta in its entirety below;
“Mheshimiwa Rais @ukenyatta heshima yako Samahani! Nina machache ya kusema endapo yatakufikia 🙏
Mimi ni msanii Mzalendo wa mziki wa kizazi kipya toka hapa nchini nafahamika kama Otilebrown na Kutokana na utafiti tunafahamu fika kua nchi hii yetu ya kenya 🇰🇪 ni nchi yenye changa moto za ukosefu wa ajira kwa vijana.
Alhamdulilah! “ Wengine” tumejaaliwa vipaji vinavyotuwezesha kujipa kipato kidogo kupitia tasnia ya mziki , tumejitengenezea ajira bila usaidizi wowote wa Serikali na bado huwa tunalipa ushuru inavyostahili bila kulalama.
Chakusikitisha nikua bado hatupati tunachostahili , viongozi na wasimamizi wanatupora nakutudhulumu wakati wengi wetu tumetoka kwenye familia za kimaskini na tunategemewa kiasi kikubwa.
Swali langu ni wasimamizi wa MCSK baada ya kukiri na kukubali mashtaka, ni hatua gani watachukuliwa?? Tungependa kuona wamefungwa gerezani na mali zao kuchukuliwa na kurudishwa kwenye tasnia ya sanaa .. kama kweli tuna utu na tunataka mabadiliko kwenye nchi yetu..
Inauma sanaa mheshimiwa Rais @ukenyatta
Sahii kwanzia January inasemekana kuwa serikali inataka kuanza kututoza ushuru kupita mtandao wa YouTube ambao tumekua tukitegemea baada ya kutukata tamaa na viongozi waliokataa kutupatia haki yetu na kutudhulumu hadharani 🤦♂️ Bila woga.
Nahisi umefika wakati wanatukatisha tamaa, tumetengwa na hakuna anayetujali hata kile kidogo cha kulisha familia zetu kinachukuliwa.
I love my country 🇰🇪 Mwenyezi mungu tusimamie 🙏
Mheshimiwa Rais @ukenyatta .. we’re not asking for anything from the government but to be given, what is rightfully ours .. please please, please !!!!🙏”
Otile Brown has since made another plea to the President asking him to open up the country and let everything return back to normalcy since himself and his Deputy, William Ruto together with ODM pulled a huge crowd addressing the common mwananchi, and nothing seemed to have happened to them.
