Rapper Khaligraph Jones has publicly endorsed Tanzanian Bongo Flava sensation Diamond Platnumz as the greatest artist in East Africa, following a jaw-dropping performance at the recent Oktobafest festival held from Friday to Sunday.
This endorsement, though surprising, comes in the wake of a month-long feud between Kenyan and Tanzanian artists, which has included public spats and diss tracks.
Diamond Platnumz, who headlined the Ngong racecourse festival on Saturday, delivered an unforgettable performance that left the audience in awe.
Khaligraph Jones, who took to the stage on Sunday, didn’t just praise Diamond’s musical prowess but also extended an olive branch to the Tanzanian artist.
However, the history between these two artists hasn’t always been harmonious.
Khaligraph Jones has been embroiled in previous disputes with Diamond Platnumz.
One notable incident involved Khaligraph exposing Diamond’s photographer who had refused to send him pictures taken with the singer. Khaligraph publicly shared their chat conversations, adding fuel to their rivalry.
In another instance, Khaligraph took a dig at Diamond when the Tanzanian superstar made a dramatic entrance by appearing for a performance in a coffin.
Khaligraph claimed to be the pioneer of that stunt, having performed a similar act years ago when he made an entrance inside a coffin. This episode added more fire to their ongoing feud. In his surprising endorsement, Khaligraph Jones stated,
“Diamond is undeniably the biggest artist in East Africa, and we respect him greatly for his contributions to the music industry. While I still maintain my status as the biggest rapper in Africa, I recognize Diamond’s significance in our region. Artists should commit to their craft, and that’s exactly what he does to stay at the top.”
This endorsement marks a potential turning point in the long-standing rivalry between these two East African music giants.
It signifies a willingness to put aside past differences and focus on the common goal of elevating the East African music industry.
Diamond Platnumz, known for his numerous hits and global recognition, has yet to publicly respond to Khaligraph Jones’s endorsement.
