A simmering rivalry between Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz and his former WCB Wasafi signee Mbosso has exploded into a heated public spat, with accusations, revelations, and warnings flying across social media.
The feud intensified after Mbosso allegedly suggested that Diamond was envious of his success. The claim triggered a fiery response from the Wasafi boss, who dismissed the accusation as baseless.
โIn your statements, you are forcing me to be involved, claiming that we are envying you. What would I envy you for anyway? And how would that help me?โ Diamond posted on Instagram Stories.
The issue escalated further when Diamondโs close ally, Baba Levo, shared a video appearing to show Diamond guiding Mbosso in creating the melody for his hit track โPawa.โ
In a surprising twist, Diamond admitted to having played a major role in shaping โPawaโโeven after Mbossoโs departure from Wasafi. He said he stepped in because the song wasnโt strong enough and wanted to help it succeed.
But Diamond didnโt stop there. He claimed that his creative contributions to Mbossoโs catalogue run deep, asserting that he wrote between 40% and 90% of many of Mbossoโs biggest tracks, including โHodari,โ โBaikoko,โ โShetani,โ and โAssalaam.โ
โApproximately 90% of all your songsโฆ others 40%, others 50%, and others up to 90%,โ he revealed.
Diamond also dropped a financial bombshell, disclosing that Mbossoโs exit clause from WCB Wasafi was Tsh 323,250,000. He claimed he waived the entire fee out of goodwill to allow Mbosso to restart his career without financial burden.
Wrapping up his tirade, Diamond warned Mbossoโand anyone else tempted to disrespect himโthat while he doesnโt seek recognition, he demands respect.
He described himself as someone who chooses patience over conflict but cautioned that his silence should never be mistaken for weakness.
โI am truly crazy, and I donโt take nonsense,โ Diamond declared, reminding fans that his no-nonsense reputation goes back to his early days in the industry.
