Diamond Platnumz's new song WAAH featuring Koffi Olomide is enjoying major success with our neighbours Kenya. Diamond fans in Kenya have contributed in making the song the biggest African song on YouTube. But rapper Octopizzo is not happy with his countrymen for supporting Diamond too much.
Octopizzo cursed Kenyans online as “Mediocre Motherf**kers” for supporting Bongo star Diamond instead of their own singers. Octopizzo aka Namba Nane went to his Twitter handle to complain about the amount of love that Kenyans are showing to the Tanzanian Diamond and not their own singer Otile Brown.
Octopizzo cursed out Kenyan Diamond fans saying, "MFs out here gassing Diamond but will not support Otile Brown. The Mediocrity on this platforms. Smh"
MFs out here Gassing Diamond but will not support Otile Brown. The Mediocrity on this platforms. Smh
Octopizzo seems to not love his fellow African artistes prospering, choosing instead to split opinions by country. Ironically, his latest song featuring Idd Aziz is called Good Morning Africa.
As much as Octopizzo has been a phenomenon who has elevated the Kenyan music scene in the last decade, and so to a hero of the Kibera slums, his fans didn't seem to agree with his most recent views about Diamond Platnumz.
One fan chided Octo by using his own words against him, "Glorifying mediocrity is in human nature why do you think people gas you up?" To which he responded defiantly, "Am not a type of human like you & being gassed up ain’t my MO. So tafaZZali, hoo human nature yako jiekee!"
Another fan commented, "Even Otile Brown looks up to Diamond." And Octopizzo responded dismisively saying, "Bro sina time ya back and forth you heard what I said."
More fan comments defending Diamond kept coming:
"Boss, Otile Brown is not DIAMOND. Worlds apart in quality, delivery and public image. Get the difference. Thanks."
"Sasaa wewee... tulia , acha watu walike kitu wanataka bana ala. Mkiimba ujinga mna expect"
But others agreed with Octo's sentiments too:
"Funny how we don't embrace our own. MFs apa nikutegea msee afanye blunder they troll him/her."
"And majority of wasafi fans are Kenyans,,remove the Kenyan fan base ndo ujue iyo mraiya naona shieeeeet."
