I Can Work With Ali Kiba — Diamond Platnumz Reveals
Diamond Platnumz, celebrated Bongo star has disclosed that he’s veritably ready to partner with his long- time rival fellow star Ali Kiba, should an occasion ever present itself.
Speaking at an interview with Wasafi radio, Diamond revealed that his operation has ever tried to reach out to Kiba to work on a design.
He added that in the history, he has invited Ali Kiba to his shows.
“Nishapigia simu Menejimenti yake tukitaka tuandae show, nilishamwalika kwenye show zangu kabla hata ya Wasafi Festival, mimi sina noma yaani fresh tu. (I have ever reached out to his management through a phone call. I wanted us to organise a show. I have also invited him over to my shows even before Wasafi Festival came to be. I don’t have anything against him.) said Diamond.
The songster added that artistes should rise above creating small conflicts amongst themselves to seek applicability.
“Ila kuna mawazo ambayo Watanzania tunatakiwa tuyafute, ili wewe uonekane mkubwa lazima ugombane na mtu, mimi sina noma halafu kila mtu namuheshima kwa upande wake.
Diamond, still, maintained that collective respect is crucial and he’ll not tolerate any kind of discourteousness directed at him.
“Ila mtu akitaka kunivunjia heshima, usitake kunibadilisha, unitotoshe, hapo ndio sikubali, kila mtu achukue heshima yake.
His sentiments come slightly a week after he lately released his EP dubbed First of All.
In one of the songs, Diamond touches on his long- standing beef with fellow star Ali Kiba, stating that after deep study he has realized they differ over petty effects like fanbase and fashionability.
“Nilowaza leo nishawaza sana, mi na Kiba ugomvi kipi nikagundua ni ushamba na ujana wa kugombania mashabiki,” he sings, hinting that he has grown in the industry and no longer focuses on such issues.

Barely two years after Tanasha Donna and Bey T stormed the internet to fight over a catchphrase, Tanasha has finally given details on her beef with the rapper for the first time.
According to the musician, the misunderstanding came after they both disagreed on an issue.
In an interview with KISS FM, the musician cum entrepreneur said Bey T was young and was misled by people into instigating petty quarrels.
“Honestly speaking I think it was just a misunderstanding, it started over a quote, the ‘Kenya to the world’ thing. And I like she was young at the time and like people tried instigating drama. You know how people can be… people can easily corrupt one’s mind, especially when there is nothing going on,” she said.
According to Tanasha, it is easy to have the feeling that people are out to kill your shine when starting, especially as a young girl in a competitive industry.
“Talking from experience as a young girl you can feel easily like people are out to get you or steal your shine…but I feel like she’s a great artist so she was trying to spit some bars which she is amazing at and I’ll give her credit for that,” she added.
The mother of one confirmed that they have a good relationship following their beef and now are both open to the idea of collaborating with Bey T even though the two have never met yet.
“Why not? I mean I like her music and she’s amazing. Plus, right now, we’re at a good place, we haven’t really met but we have people in common whom we work with,” she said.
Amid their banter, Bey T went ahead to drop a diss track called ‘Don to the Donna’ attacking Tanasha for allegedly sampling her music in 2019.
“Someone tell Tanasha to stop wave riding,” Bey T wrote on Instagram at the time.
According to the rapper, the phrase “Kenya to the World” originated from her, but Tanasha stole it.
