Diamond responds to 'stealing' song from Namibian artiste

Diamond Platnumz did not only respond to cheating claims, but also to theft allegations online. Early this year, he had released a song with Namibian artiste King Tee Dee, one that didn’t see the light of day.

His new song is similar to the other song which he had been featured on. This has got fans talking about how he ‘snatched’ the other artiste’s song.

Well, he has come out to explain that the beat of the song was his and the Namibian artiste had uploaded the collabo on Youtube without Diamond’s consent,

Diamond said;

when I went to perform in Namibia, it was during his show (King Teedee) and he requested we do a collabo. Of course, the beat was mine and so I started writing. so everything you’ve heard from my end is written by me. at that time he was there with his producer and when he heard the beat by Laizer, he loved it. he went ahead and added his verse and released the audio which really upset me. that is when I felt like going on and writing another version of the song, something that is not prohibited. its a song i love a lot so even King Teedee knows I have done another version

Here is the original song:

Now, here is Diamond’s new song:
