Why do I always shower this guy with praises this guy? Simple! He makes good music and videos.

But it seems there are a few who aren’t happy with the “Number 1” star for using white people in his video. Diamond first featured whites in his video “Mdogo Mdogo” and used them again in his new video ‘Ntampata wapi’ which was shot in South Africa.

Why did he feature them?

Here’s Diamond’s response after he was asked that question on East Africa Radio’s Power Jamz;

“There’s one thing, let’s stop discrimination, it depends on the song’s script, what it talks about and what should be there. “Mdogo Mdogo” script was about how love doesn’t choose, that’s why there was a white family and my family. I wanted a white lady, but the parents couldn’t agree. That’s why at the end we wrote love doesn’t choose.

Kuna kitu kimoja, waache ubaguzi inategemea na script ya nyimbo inavyozungumza, script inataka kitu gani, script yangu ya mdogo mdogo ilikuwa inazungumza kwamba mapenzi hayachagui, ndio maana kulikuwa na familia ya kizungu mimi familia ya kiafrika, mimi namtaka demu wa kizungu lakini wazazi wake hawataki, kwahiyo ndo maana mwisho tukaandika mapenzi hayachagui”.

“Na naamini hicho kitu ndo kilisababisha kufanya hata Marekani ikashinda tuzo, video ya Aye haikushinda ikashinda video ya Mdogo mdogo kama video ya Afrika kwasbaabu concept yenyewe ilikuwa inazungumza vizuri, wazungu wenyewe wameona kama aah hii kweli lakini tuache maswala ya kibaguzi
