Renowned Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz has finally broken his silence after Ali Kiba launched a verbal attack on him on social media.
Ali Kiba had accused Diamond Platnumz of lying about being invited to perform at the Wasafi Festival in Dar es Salaam, prompting Diamond Platnumz to respond with a humorous comment.
Instead of engaging in a heated exchange, Diamond Platnumz chose to mock Ali Kiba's outburst, saying 'Mmemskia anaelilia penseli??? Stress hizi.'
The beef between Diamond Platnumz and Ali Kiba has been ongoing for a while, with the two musicians even clashing at a funeral in the past.
According to Ommy Dimpoz, Ali Kiba was approached by Diamond Platnumz for advice on the song 'Lala Salama' and even contributed to the beat selection and ad-libs.
However, when the song was released on Diamond's album, Ali Kiba's ad-libs were mysteriously deleted.
