Chid Benz blasted Diamond after he denied him chance to perform at Wasafi Festival. The veteran rapper claims that he was snubbed because his songs have messages while other veteran musicians just sing to entertain without necessarily conveying any message.

“Sisi wasanii tunaoimba nyimbo ambazo zinabeba ujumbe na maana hatupati nafasi kabisa utasikia wanasema achana na hao wakina Chidi Benz wanakula unga ila Dudu Baya kisa anasema konki konki anajaza watu basi Nasibu (Diamond Platnumz) anampa tour kwenye Wasafi Festival,” said Chid Benz.
