Diamond Platnumz’s grandmother blames the singer’s step-sister, Queen Darleen, for starting his beef with archenemy Alikiba.
Speaking during an interview with Bona TV, Diamond’s grandmother Mwanaisha Mrisho revealed that Queen Darleen was married to Alikiba and that she is the one who incited Diamond and Alikiba to start beefing.

Diamond’s grandma said Darleen antagonized Diamond and Alikiba when the latter was only beginning to emerge as a big name in the entertainment industry.
“Kulikua na maneno maneno yalikua mengi sana kusema kama ‘nani anayepeleka maneno za Diamond kwa Alikiba?’ Wakasema labda Idi, kwa sababu Idi kwa upande wa kule kwa Alikiba. Ata ndoa yake yeye ndo alimsimamia. Wale ndo walikua wanamlazimisha ‘Idi, Idi ndo anapeleka maneno’. Akasema ‘ata msikitini nipelekeni, ata siku moja ziwezi kuchukua habari za Alikiba nampelekea Diamond. Nichukue habari za Diamond nimpelekee kwa Alikiba. Ni uuaji’.
“Lakini walikua hawajui ni nani alikua kawapampanisha hawa hapa mbaka kawa sumu, walikua hawajui yule yule dadake [Queen Darleen] ndo sababu yeye Alikiba alikua bwanake. Huku anajifanya kakake anaskiliza ya huku anaenda kule anabwaga uongo… Yule ndo alikua mpampanaji analeta ugomvi. Angekua sio yule, Alikiba na Diamond wasingegombana. Lakini yule ndo alikua anapeleka sana uongo,” said Diamond’s grandmother.
Alikiba and Queen Darling were the most talked about celebrity stars in Tanzania long before Diamond became a superstar.
Darleen and Alikiba were very tight, they accompanied each other on every occasion and collaborated in the making of several hit songs like ‘Wajua’ that catapulted them to stardom.
Alikiba and Diamond Platnumz had a good cordial relationship until 2019 when the Wasafi CEO released his first hit ‘Kamwambie’ which became a big hit.
Diamond went on to be a star and that things started going south with Alikiba. The supremacy battle between Alikiba and Diamond Platnumz still exists to date.
