Veteran Tanzanian Rapper Chidi Benz blasted Diamond Platinumz after he failed to invite him to perform during Wasafi festival as he had anticipated.
Chidi Benz claims that he was snubbed because his songs have messages while other veteran musicians just sing to entertain without necessarily conveying any message.
Speaking to local radio station, the veteran musician revealed that he wasn’t invited because of his past history with illegal drugs.
“Sisi wasanii tunaoimba nyimbo ambazo zinabeba ujumbe na maana hatupati nafasi kabisa utasikia wanasema achana na hao wakina Chidi Benz wanakula unga ila Dudubaya kisa anasema konki konki anajaza watu basi nasibu anampa tour kwenye Wasafi Festival” said Chidi.
Chidi alleges that his counterpart Dudu Baya was only invited for his popular stage phrase “Konki Master” and not because he releases meaningful songs.
However, Dudu baya claims that Chidi Benz is just bluffing as a result of his drug abuse habits and that he is being used.
“Hawa jamaa wasiokuwa na marinda….wanatabia wakikufanyisha show…na unawadai huwa wanatuma mtu akuharibu kwa madawa ya kulevya….na unakuwa kichaa kabisa…na nampaka inapelekea kifo.wapi mangwea,wapi langa,r.ip wanangu….swali kubwa yupo wapi darasa cmg……inauma…wasanii wenzangu nimebaniwa muziki wangu miaka 12.lakini bado niko fiti.konki konki konki master.teja hawezi kuona mabadiliko…saizi yake kaburi…” posted Dudu Baya on Instagram.
