Uproar
“Wakati nimeenda kuperfom Namibia, ilikuwa ni show yake yeye (King TeeDee) na akarequest tufanye collabo, but of-course Beat ile ni yangu so mimi nikaanza kuandika ile Nyimbo na kila kipande umekiskia mule ndani nimeandika mimi, so yeye alikuwa na producer wake lakini aliposkia beat yangu aliyotengeneza Laizer ndo akaipenda. So akaenda akaandika Verse yake na ngoma ikatoka ambayo amenishirikisha mimi, na audio ipo na tutafanya video pia. Lakini hapo hapo nikahisi kufanya another version of the song kitu ambacho akikatazwi Kabisa. Na ni nyimbo ambayo mimi naipenda sana. So hata yeye (King Teedee) anajua kuwa nimefanya another version” said Diamond.
There was an uproar on social media after the Tetema hitmaker left out TeeDee especially by Namibian fans on grounds that he had stolen the song from the latter.
