Tanzanian
singer Alikiba seems to be taking indirect shots at his competition
Diamond Platnumz. In a recent interview with The Sporah Show on Clouds
TV, he said that popping a new song every now and then is a sign of
insecurity and self-doubt. He has not been doing that; in fact, his most
played songs lately are less than 3, while Diamond has over 10 hit
songs in circulation at any given moment.
Since
releasing the song “Chekecha Cheketua”, his fans have been pressuring
him to put out some more work. On the contrary, he feels that even if he
puts out one song, he will be relevant in the market for a long time.
There
has been a heated debate on whether Diamond and Alikiba are beefing,
something which the latter denied, saying that he has his own style
“FANS DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME, KITU AMBACHO NAFANYA ‘NEW KIBA NEW YEAR’ NI KUTAKA KWENDA SAWA NA NYIE. LAKINI NILIKUA NATAKA MNIELEWE KUTOA NYIMBO KILA DAKIKA NI UMALIZAJI WA TALENT YAKO AU KUTOKUJIAMINI AU TALENT YAKO FUPI AU UNA JARIBU,” HE SAID.
(“Don’t worry about me my fans. What I wanna do for the “New Kiba New Year” is to make you happy. But I want you to understand that releasing a song every minute is exhaustion of talent or a sign of not believing in yourself.”)
