Diamond silences Ali Kiba

By Robert Mutasi 

The feud between Diamond and Alikiba continues to rumble online as Simba now asks Alikiba to bite his tongue about advising Diamond on how to make music.

Through his Instastory, Diamond boasted about how his song My Baby, featuring Chike, continues to do well, particularly in Nigeria, a nation known as a stronghold for new generation music in Africa.

Diamond took pride in the song's reception, being just under three weeks since its release, and asked Alikiba - though he didn't mention him directly - to completely shut up whenever he sees Diamond has released a song, because he has his plan and knows what he's doing.

Diamond puffed his chest, saying that he doesn't just impulsively release music, but has a routine and strategy he follows before releasing a new track.

"When you see I've released any song, shut up, because I don't rush, I release songs with a specific strategy," Diamond barked.

Last week, Alikiba harshly criticized Diamond for his song Enjoy, featuring Jux, saying that the artist is disgracing Bongo Flava music by what he called theft of the works of Nigerian artists.

Diamond was heavily dragged for allegedly copying some beats from Nigerian artists' songs.

West African blogs swarmed him like locusts and even mentioned no fewer than five songs of their artists that had similarities in beat to songs Diamond Platnumz subsequently released.

However, Spyro, the artist who was allegedly ripped off by Diamond, broke his silence, silencing people that no one is an island in this world to the extent that they can do something alone without the cooperation of others.

He asked them to let Diamond breathe and not to give him meaningless pressure that he is stealing the beats of other artists.
