In a press conference, Diamond asked Harmonize and Alikiba to join him at his festival.
"I will be so happy to get new talent in Mtwara. I found Harmonize there and I know, I'll find a new artiste there as well. I'd like to partner with everyone. Before then, Abdukiba (Alikiba's brother) will collabo with myself in a song."
"I'll be with him in the festival and if his brother, Alikiba will see it fit, he can join us. If he gives us even one show, we shall appreciate."
"Harmonize too. We need to use our brains in this things, lets not put our personal issues in these things."
Upon hearing Diamond's comments, Harmonize had said he will never perform with his ex boss.
"Sitokuwepo na haitotokea asiwadanganye. Lengo lake ajaze achambe. Tumejaza kwao. Najua mna mioyo safi hakikisha mnaenda kumuunga mkono ila swala la kuwepo halitokuja tokea."
(I will not be performing and I will never. His agenda is fill the place and throw shade that he filled his festival at my hometown. I know my people have a good heart, so I urge all of you to support him but I will not be performing)
He has since changed his mind and will be performing together.
