Popular Tanzanian musicians Diamond Platnumz and Mbosso are publicly clashing over the credits of their song “Pawa.”
Diamond reminded Mbosso that he had once advised him not to work with fellow artist Rayvanny, suggesting that Mbosso should remain loyal to their Wasafi Music label. However, Mbosso chose to collaborate outside Wasafi, which Diamond implies is not an act of betrayal.
The disagreement highlights tensions about loyalty and collaboration in the East African music scene, where artists often work both within and outside their record labels.
Fans and industry watchers are keenly following the dispute, as both Diamond and Mbosso are major figures in the region’s music industry.
This clash reflects broader issues around artist independence, credit sharing, and competition in the evolving East African music market.
