On November 9, the Wasafi Festival is set to take place in Dar es Salaam, and Diamond Platnumz has invited Harmonize and Ali Kiba to perform.
However, Ali Kiba has declined the invitation, citing Diamond's alleged wrongdoings against him.
According to Kiba, Diamond has been doing wrong deeds against him, and inviting him to his festival is akin to abuse.
‘Usiniletee mambo ya darasa la pili unaniiibia penseli alafu unanisaidia kutafuta. Unikome,’ wrote Kiba on Instagram.
He also claimed that if he was to expose Diamond for the things he has done against him, no one would attend the festival.
‘Mwanaume huwa anaongeaga mara moja tu sasa ukitaka nikuweke uchi watu wajue unayonifanyia hata kwenye hilo tamasha hatokuja mtu sasa tuishie hapo nakutakia tamasha njema @diamondplatnumz #KingKiba,’ added Ali Kiba.
For years, Diamond and Kiba have been perceived to be great rivals in Bongo Flava music, with each alleging to be greater than the other.
