‘Diamond Doesn’t Carry The Talent of Everyone With Him” AliKiba Blasts Diamond Platinumz In A New Spat Off Between The Artists

Alikiba and Diamond Platinumz have arguably the biggest beef on the local scene right now. Now, they have something new to beef about after an interview Diamond gave in which he revealed his position of influence in determining the Tanzanian music played on international platforms.

In the interview, Diamond reveals in a rather chest thumping manner that he is usually consulted by many international media platforms on the quality of Tanzanian music videos and whether they can feature on international platforms.

He goes on to say without his recommendation the videos under consultation cannot get to feature abroad. He was however, quick to say he has never given a negative opinion to a tanzanian song nor used his position to surpress other artistes’ works. 

His nemesis Alikiba was obviously one of the first to get consulted and as expected he dismissed Diamond’s said influence saying’ 

“If what he (Diamond) says is true, then the TV station is doing a wrong thing. However, I don’t believe his statement. He (Diamond) doesn’t carry the talent of everyone with him; each singer has his own talent, and has the right to showcase his work. Music nowadays is done for business; so, it would be unfair for only one person to determine if a country’s singers’ music videos meet the threshold to be played on international media – considering we put a lot of money in producing those videos.”
