In the aftermath of Harmonize’s public rebuke of his former mentor, Diamond Platnumz, for repeatedly claiming credit for his musical success, Diamond has responded, opting to downplay the online feud.
Diamond recently expressed sentiments of paternal pride towards Harmonize and Rayvanny, labeling them as his musical proteges and suggesting that without his influence, they might not have achieved their current level of fame.
This statement, however, appeared to irk Harmonize, who found Diamond’s repeated assertions of his role in his success tiresome and offensive.
In a fiery retort, Harmonize launched verbal salvos at Diamond’s camp, expressing regret over his decision to accept Diamond’s support and urging him to refrain from boasting about his achievements, as he was merely fulfilling his contractual obligations by financially facilitating his departure from the label.
Diamond, in response, appeared to acquiesce to Harmonize’s confrontational stance, conceding defeat in their war of words and labeling himself as incapable of continuing the argument.
“Oooh, kumbe una dhamira ya kubishana. Mimi ni mnyonge siwezi kubishana na wewe mtu mzito. Mataji yote nakupa chukua ushindi,” Diamond said.
Acknowledging Diamond’s apparent victory, Harmonize conceded that Diamond had indeed succeeded in orchestrating his departure from the label, albeit begrudgingly.
Despite his earlier reticence, Harmonize couldn’t resist taking a parting shot at Diamond, accusing him of persistently seeking validation for his role in Harmonize’s success while simultaneously downplaying his contributions.
“Mshindi ni wewe kaka uliyenitoa. Tena najilaumu kwa nini nilijibu wakati bado ni hai yako kujivunia. Ni vile umejivunia sana hadi inachosha, na huwa unajivunia pale unapotaka huruma ya watu. Ila kisirisiri huku ukiwaambia waanaji wa shoo haswa za nje kwamba nikiwepo mimi Konde boy huwezi kufanya maana tutaonekana tupo kiwango sawa,” Harmonize said.
In the end, while the online altercation may have reached a temporary stalemate, the underlying tensions between these two musical heavyweights continue to simmer beneath the surface.
