• Zuchu works under WCB which is owned by Tanzanian star Diamond Platnumz.

• Alikiba praised Zuchu for being disciplined.

Tanzanian artist Alikiba has said he does not have Zuchu's number nor does she have his.

He also praised her saying she looks like a calm person.

"Namba yangu hana nina uhakika , mimi pia namba yake sina lakini ni Msanii ambaye napenda kazi zake anaimba vizuri na nilikutananaye Airport tukasalimiana , nilivyomuona tu She is very discplined ( ana nidhamu sana) "- @officialalikiba

(I am sure she does not have my number, I also do not have hers. But I love her work, she sings very well.

I met her at the airport and we said have to each other. From the way I saw her, she is very disciplined."

For a long time, Ali Kiba has been assumed to be enemies with Diamond PLatnumz, who is Zuchu's boss.

Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz says his beef Alikiba was created by the media.

In a video shared by Mseto East Africa, Diamond said most Tanzanians are not happy when an artiste is successful.

"Tanzanians like it when you die in your career. When they see an artiste making it in the industry, they create beef with other artistes which are not good according to me."

"Watanzania wanapenda mwanamuziki afe, yaani akipanda ashuke. Wakiona msanii anafanya vizuri, wanajaribu kumchonganisha naye wakipitia yule msaani mwingine, which kwangu mimi naona sio vizuri)

Diamond said the hate that has been there for so long now between him and Alikiba was escalated by Tanzanian blogs.

"Kitu ambacho kilinisikitisha sana ni kwanini watu watengeneze hasa media za kutoka nyumbani Tanzania kuonyesha mimi nina tatizo na Ali Kiba. Mimi sina tatizo na Ali," he said. (I was surprised to see them creating stories that made us look as if we were beefing. I have no bad blood with Ali Kiba.)

Diamond also blamed some artistes saying they should be in a position to identify such banters and fake stories. He said they should not take it seriously as that is killing the unity of artistes in Tanzania.

Diamond listed some artistes he pitted against and said he never considered it a challenge but said he took it with strides.

"Ukiwa msanii hana akili, utagombana na kila mtu, lakini mimi naelewa media na baadhi ya managers wanafanya kazi na wasanii wao, wanafikiri ukimchonganisha mtu na msanii ndio unampandisha kumbe mwanzo unaua soko la nyumbani," he said.

In a past interview this year, Diamond said his beef started when Kiba refused to work with him in one of his songs 'Lala Salama.'
