Renowned Tanzanian artists Diamond Platnumz and Ali Kiba have been at odds for years, and it seems their rivalry is far from over. The tension between them has been ongoing, with both artists frequently trading barbs on social media.
Recently, Ali Kiba and Harmonize were set to perform at the Tigo Fiesta concert, but the event organizers were unable to sell out the tickets. As a result, they slashed the entry fees from Sh500 to Sh150.
Diamond Platnumz couldn't resist taking a jab at his rivals, commenting with laughing emojis on a post shared by Wasafi managerial team member, Ricardo Momo. Momo had also ridiculed Kiba and Harmonize on social media, saying they were struggling to sell tickets.
This isn't the first time Diamond has mocked Kiba. Just a month ago, Kiba called out Diamond, telling him to stop acting childish and not to involve him in childish games. Kiba even claimed that if he exposed Diamond for his past wrongdoings, no one would attend his concerts.
Despite their long-standing rivalry, Diamond and Kiba have never collaborated on a project, despite numerous calls from fans to end their feud and work together.
