The long-standing rivalry between Tanzanian music icons Diamond Platnumz and Alikiba has taken a new and bitter turn. The two artists have been exchanging barbs on social media, with Diamond Platnumz even hinting at having a past relationship with Alikiba’s wife.
The feud began in July when Diamond Platnumz declared that he was about to release a string of hit songs and warned other artists to steer clear. This declaration did not sit well with Alikiba, who responded with a cryptic message urging his fans to wait and watch.
The latest jab from Alikiba came in the form of a tweet, where he appeared to take a shot at Diamond Platnumz’s vocal abilities and compared him to a “fake Quavo who needs voice training.” Alikiba also advised Diamond to invest more in vocal training and creating a good production team.
In response, Diamond hit back with a lengthy message. He called out Kiba for cheap music videos and implied that his productions were not on par with his own. He also claimed to have surpassed Alikiba in various aspects, such as subscribers, listeners, awards, and social media following.
However, things took a dark and personal turn when Diamond hinted at having a past relationship with Alikiba’s wife, Amina. This particular statement received backlash from fans, who condemned Diamond for involving family matters in their feud.
Amina expressed her displeasure with the situation through an Instagram post, urging Diamond to respect family boundaries. She wrote, “It is absurd, malicious, and ultimately weird involving innocent humans in conflicts/grudges condemn the high level of disrespect on women. Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts? Human decency is inviolable!!!”
The feud between Diamond Platnumz and Alikiba has divided fans, with many calling for a more peaceful resolution to their differences. Both artists have a massive fan base and have played significant roles in shaping the Tanzanian music industry, making it even more crucial for them to find a way to coexist harmoniously.
