He also mentioned that his performance at the burial ceremony was motivated by his wish to honor the memory of a fan, Chira.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhat does my album have to do with the deceased? If you know me, I\u2019m just showing nothing but love at the end of the day. I don\u2019t even know him personally because the attention was brought to me by the fans when I was doing a live with a Tanzanian blogger when people insisted that I should sing the song. So that\u2019s when he was brought to my attention because I never knew the guy,\u201d<\/em> Otile Brown explained.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAfter doing research I realized that he was a huge fan of my songs and if you go to YouTube and check out the song, all the comments are about him. It\u2019s not me, it\u2019s the people they are showing love and all that. Normally those who know me know I never come out for anybody, it\u2019s just who I am. So I was just showing love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h5><strong>One Call Doing Numbers<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The \u2018Alivyonipenda\u2019 singer emphasized that regardless of whether he performed at the funeral or not, his song was already garnering attention.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s doing like 200k views a day, so whether I had showed up or not the song is still doing well. So I think it funny that people will think that. when you are making such a statement what do you want. Do you want me not to show up totally?\u201d<\/em> he posed.<\/p>\n<p>The song, which debuted a year ago, had accumulated over 5 million views on YouTube as of Wednesday. In a post on his Instagram, Otile conveyed his admiration for Chira\u2019s influence on the track.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhat Chira is doing to #OneCall is just unbelievable. His influence shines brightly, and his love is deeply felt. Sending heartfelt love and prayers\u2026 may he rest in peace. I\u2019d be honoured to perform the song at his funeral to help make his memory everlasting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Otile Brown has addressed allegations suggesting that he was clout chasing by performing at the burial ceremony of the late TikTok sensation Brian Chira.
