The embarrassing treatment of Kenyan artistes has Tanzanian singer Diamond and an event’s organiser receiving backlash from music lovers.
During a concert held in Mombasa over the weekend in which Diamond was the showstopper, the star demanded that all other artistes who had reservations in the VIP lounge, among them Susumila and Nyota Ndogo, be moved away.
There was more drama after Susumila and Nyota Ndogo were denied drinking water. They were told to look for tap water as the bottled water was only for Diamond and his crew.
The act saw Mombasa artistes unite to condemn the event organiser with VJ Delph declining to deejay.

“If this goes on, Mombasa music lovers will boycott Diamond’s shows in the future. It is quite an embarrassment for our artistes to be treated in such a manner here at home,” said Hassan Faisal of Coastal Films.
