Harmonize Explains Why Diamond Platnumz May Struggle to Win a Grammy
The rivalry between Harmonize and Diamond Platnumz over who will be the first to elevate Bongo Fleva music to global acclaim continues to intensify.
Harmonize recently took a swipe at Diamond for failing to secure a Grammy nomination this year, despite releasing internationally appealing tracks. Speaking to the press, Harmonize boldly proclaimed that he would be the first East African artist to win a Grammy Award.

In what seemed like a direct criticism of Diamond’s song Komasava—a track inspired by the French phrase “Comment ça va”—Harmonize dismissed the song as lacking the depth required for a Grammy win.
“Talking about the Grammys, let me say this: if you’re discussing Grammys, you’re speaking to the 2025/2026 Grammy winner,” Harmonize declared confidently. “You can’t win a Grammy just by greeting people in a song. It doesn’t work like that.”
Harmonize stressed the importance of originality and high-quality production, pointing out that Grammy judges prioritize musical excellence over fame. “The judges don’t care if you’re popular. It’s all about the quality of your work, not how famous you are in front of the cameras,” he said, asserting that he is prepared to land a nomination next year and ultimately bring home the award.
Harmonize’s remarks come shortly after Diamond addressed his fans’ disappointment over his absence from this year’s Grammy nominations. Despite the success of Komasava, a collaboration with Canadian artist Jason Derulo, the track failed to make the cut.
In response, Diamond urged his fans to view the setback as an opportunity to improve. “When we fail to achieve something, we shouldn’t be discouraged. Instead, we should analyze where we went wrong and improve,” he advised.

Diamond also acknowledged the possibility of lacking the necessary industry connections or failing to meet certain standards. However, he vowed to return to the studio and produce more impactful songs to boost his chances for next year’s Grammy race.
“For now, we’ll flood the world with hits. God willing, next year we’ll make it to the Grammys. And if not, we’ll keep pushing because I believe nothing is impossible,” Diamond concluded.
