Savara was vocal suggesting that Elani tried comparing themselves to Sauti Sol.
Savara described Elani’s “setback” as a result of thinking they could replace Sauti Sol.
The musician was quick to laud the progress of Sauti Sol, branded the musical giants as “mamba”
Brian Chweya took to Instagram to respond to Savara’s sentiments saying, “Keep our name out of your clout-chasing mouth.”
Brian further added that Savara was chasing clout with lies and that Bien is doing better without Savara.
