Harmonize Defends Diamond Platnumz Amidst Plagiarism Allegations

Konde Music Worldwide boss Rajab Abdul Kahali, better known by his stage name Harmonize, has come to the defense of his former boss Diamond Platnumz, who has been accused of plagiarism.

Diamond has been accused of stealing the beats of Nigerian musicians, most recently in his song “Enjoy” with Jux, which is alleged to have copied Spyro and Tiwa Savage’s hit “Who is Your Guy?”

In a statement on Wednesday, Harmonize urged pop artists and their fans to unite and support each other. He condemned insults and criticism against each other, and asked people to let each artist make music in his own way.

“We are all Africans, and we should support each other,” Harmonize said. “We should not be fighting each other. We should be working together to make our music industry better.”

Harmonize’s statement comes amid a growing debate about plagiarism in the music industry. Some people believe that it is wrong to copy the work of other artists, while others believe that it is simply a matter of inspiration.

The debate is likely to continue, but Harmonize’s statement is a reminder that there is still a strong sense of community among African musicians.
