Babu Tale, Diamond's manager, has responded to Ali Kiba's rant after the 'Chekecha Cheketua' hitmaker declined WCB's offer to perform at their festival.

Diamond first broke the news at a press conference that Ali Kiba would be among those headlining his festival.

He said last week at the press conference, "Before going to the US, Babu Tale reached out to Ali Kiba to ask him to be at the festival. Music is about competition, but when it comes to big things like this, people come together."

Adding, "These things are not personal, no wonder Nigerians are going far. We should not accept to be split apart by people who just want to hate. By doing that, we are killing the industry." 

He wrote in Kiswahili, "Don't bring a class two behaviour to me, you steal my pencil and help me search for it.

Leave me alone.

A man only talks once and if you want me to expose you so that people know what you are doing to me even at that festival, people won't come. I rest my case and wish you a successful festival."
