Swizz Beatz has come forward to address the “elephant in the room” after he reached out to Diamond Platnumz through social media.

The proverbial elephant in the room in this case is the fact that Diamond Platnumz was featured on Alicia Keys’ recently released album dubbed ‘ALICIA’ on the ‘Wasted Energy’ record but given only a few seconds on the record.

Diamond Platnumz’s fans have since expressed foul play on Alicia Keys’ team asking why they gave the Tanzanian crooner a few seconds on the record and not a few minutes like a lot of people had anticipated after learning Diamond Platnumz being in one of the features on the LP.

The lamentations of Diamond Platnumz’s fans might have reached the Alicia Keys’ team that prompted her husband, Swizz Beatz who works closely with her to respond on the matter via social media reiterating that whatever Alicia Keys did on the record was something that “SIMBA” wanted to do in the first place.

Swizz Beatz also shared that whatever they did together with Alicia Keys on the ‘Wasted Energy’ record is just the first part, instigating that there’s another project with them already in the pipeline.

“My Brother 4 life. Please let your fans know you did as you pleased on the record and this is just part 1.” Swizz Beatz said.

After working with Alicia Keys on her ‘ALICIA’ which is her seventh studio album on the ‘Wasted Energy’ hit record that’s already trending in Africa, at least on YouTube, Diamond Platnumz has officially earned his stripes by being one of the biggest African artistes today.

I am a Pan-Afrikanist to the core and love to let the world know what they are missing in Africa. I might do that through music and some interesting posts from time to time so please bare with me.

I will always be real though, that's a guarantee.
