Diamond Denies Accusations Of Copying Music From Nigerian Artists
Tanzanian music icon Diamond Platnumz has denied accusations of copying music from Nigerian artists. In a statement, he said that the allegations are baseless and fueled by jealousy over his success.
Platnumz said that he has always been innovative and that he has never copied anyone’s work. He pointed out that Nigerian artists also sample music, but they are not accused of copying. He said that the only reason he is being accused of copying is because he is more successful than other African artists.
Platnumz also said that if Nigerian artists were really trying to copy him, they would have sampled Tanzanian Bongo music. He said that Tanzanian music is unique and that it would be difficult for Nigerian artists to replicate it.
Platnumz’s statement comes after a recent post by his collaborator Juma Jux sparked further debate on the matter. Jux posted a video of himself dancing to a song by Nigerian artist Davido, and he captioned the video with a message that seemed to suggest that Diamond Platnumz had copied Davido’s music.
Diamond Platnumz has been one of the most successful African artists in recent years. He has won numerous awards and his songs have been streamed millions of times. However, he has also been the target of criticism, with some people accusing him of copying other artists’ work.
Platnumz’s latest statement is a strong defense of his music and his career. He is clearly tired of the accusations of plagiarism and he is determined to clear his name. It remains to be seen whether the accusations will have any impact on his career, but it is clear that Diamond Platnumz is not going to let them get him down.
