How did Bien Baraza buy first car?
Speaking during an interview on Radio Citizen, Bien disclosed that it was gospel singer Size 8 who pushed him to take the step and invest in his first vehicle.

Size 8, who was a close friend, saw this and encouraged him to purchase a car, insisting that it was time for him to level up.
"I bought my first car when I didn't even know how to drive. I didn't have plans to buy a car. I would use matatus, and Size 8 sat me down and challenged me to buy one.

His revelation sparked admiration among fans, as it showed his humble beginnings and gradual transition to embracing his celebrity status.
