Currently am doing music for both local and international Market. So limiting me on what to do sometimes will not help our brand to grow. “said Diamond Platnumz

Dr. Mwakyeke stated that he had been pissed off by Diamond’s act of undermining the Assistant Minister of Information.
Simba and the Tanzanian Assistant Minister of Information Juliana Shonza have been confronting each other following the ban of his two songs WAKA WAKA and Halleluyah.
“We cannot have law for other musicians and law for Diamond alone. I think these are signs and symptoms of starting to get drunk over fame. Diamond is neither the leader of the musicians’ organization nor the spokesperson.” said Dr. Mwakyeke
