"Aah hizi ndo gani? Bro unajua kuna zingine hufai kuongelea. Zingine ni noma bwana... Uko tusiende. Wewe ni brother yangu siwezi taka kukuweka kwa noma.

"Ni job tu. Apart form being just friends kuna projects mingi tunafanya pamoja... Si lazima kila time mkiniona na mtu lazima awe mtu," he said.

Asked whether Charlene was taken, he said, "Unajua hiyo ni swali ngumu sana umeuliza. Siku hizi tuliamua kila mtu anajisemea mambo yake".

In a different interview with Shaffie Weru earlier this year, Owen said he wishes he would have done some things differently as he reflected on his failed marriage.

He said getting married at the peak of his career was not the wisest decision, but said he was now in a better place mentally.

"I think I got married very late... I wish I got married before the fame. That way I would grow into fame.

"Getting married at the peak of your career is a different story."

On his divorce and how he became a trending topic for days, the singer said he was surprised at how people were publishing falsehoods about him and his ex-wife, with little knowledge of the truth.

He promised to narrate what happened at a later date.

"Kenyans do not really know the real story but one day I will sit here and tell you exactly what happened," he said.

Owen has been keeping a low profile since his breakup with Farida Wambui in 2021, a story whose details first broke in 2020. The two had tied the knot in April 2016.

He has been supporting Charlene's charity events for over a year now. He was a notable face when Charlene launched her foundation last year.

Owen is set to release a new song on January 1.
