NAIROBI -Kenya’s Afro-pop sensation Bien is on a roll-and the world is watching.
Fresh off the release of his latest single, “All My Enemies Are Suffering,” Bien is making waves once again. The smooth, cheeky anthem has gone viral across social media, with fans quoting the now-famous line as a bold declaration of success, self-love, and quiet revenge.
“It’s a banger, no doubt,” said 26-year-old Brian Otieno from Nairobi. “We’ve seen Bien grow from Sauti Sol to this. He’s not just representing Kenya—he’s making us proud.”
A Global Moment for a Kenyan Star
As the song climbs charts across Africa and beyond, Bien has also kicked off his London tour, where he performed to sold-out crowds and electric energy.
Clips from his UK shows show fans singing every word, some even waving Kenyan flags.
“To see people in London chanting ‘All my enemies are suffering’ with joy-that’s a moment,” Bien said in an Instagram Live session earlier this week.
A Hit With a Message
Backed by a steady Afrobeat rhythm and layered with Amapiano drums, “All My Enemies Are Suffering” is more than just a catchy tune. It’s a clever, playful celebration of success in the face of doubt. Bien doesn’t call out anyone—he just rises above them.
“This song is about surviving and shining,” he said. “Your glow-up is the only response you need.”
Fans have made the phrase a kind of cultural slogan—used after job offers, graduations, or even bouncing back from heartbreak.
Why Kenyans Are Celebrating
Bien’s solo journey has been closely followed since Sauti Sol went on hiatus. For many, his evolution into a standalone global act is a source of national pride.
He’s stayed authentic, fused local language with global sound, and remained deeply connected to home-whether on a world stage or in his lyrics.
As the tour continues and the single gathers steam, one thing is clear: Bien isn’t just surviving-he’s thriving. And he’s taking Kenya with him
