Kwangwaru has made it to 23 million views on YouTube in just 4 months. Diamond and Harmonize have managed to capture the hearts of many fans all over the world.

If a song comes from WCB, Diamond has made it possible to make each a hit song by choosing great artistes and management under his label.

"Kwangwaru" was initially supposed to be a collaboration between Harmonize and Davido but things did not work out so Harmonize decided to feature Diamond. It is a great hit but it was not an easy video shoot.

When you watch Kwangwaru, the chemistry and love between the WCB family looks o.k, but what we did not know is the insults and war behind the scenes.

Harmonize planned for this video for a pretty long time, he even went to the states to shop for clothes just to make sure his baby, would be a hit from the visuals to the audio.

Diamond Platinumz is head of WCB and being featured on this song proved exactly that. He was quite bossy and wanted to be in most if not all shots which did not make Harmonize happy.

During the making of this video, the set had a lot of people. From video vixens to lovers to the WCB crew and WCB family.

Just as the shoot was going on, some very unprofessional guys started posting behind the scene videos on social media that had the audio. Ravyanny found out and made sure they deleted them.

Making of this video seemed more of a competition than a collaboration. Harmonize asked Diamond for advice on what he should wear for scene one and Diamond bluntly refused and then later bashed him for choosing some shady clothes.

If you have watched the Kwangwaru video, there is a mabati scene. According to a video on behind the scenes, that was Harmonize's idea and so he was the one to be featured. Lakini Diamond ni nani? He insisted he looks better with the clothes he had in that scene and he won again.

Harmonize got mad and moved to the back quietly watching saying that the video should go on without him. He said during confessions,

simba akaingilia kati tena ikabaki nauliza, umenishirikisha ama nimekushirikisha

Diamond responded by saying that Harmonize looked like at that very moment, he was going to cry.

Ulifika time harmonize anataka kulia

If you thought all that was dramatic, wait until Harmonize's girlfriend who he refers to as wife, by the way, came on set.

sipendi wife akiwa during shoot kwa sababu kuna vitu tunafanya video iwe kali na singependa awe hapo na alipoingia, mood ilienda tu chini 

Since the video had most of the WCB family, the pool table scene was where they all featured. Rayvanny who considers himself a star was not happy at the fact that he was directed to go to the back. He claimed he could not be seen.

This caused an argument between him and Diamond Platnumz which was later settled and the video was shot and they called it a wrap.

Well, despite all the drama, the video was an amazing production.
