Hanscana pleads with Diamond, Ali Kiba and Harmonize to quash beef

Top Tanzanian video director Hanscana has weighed in on the escalating fallout between singers Diamond Platnumz, Harmonize and Ali Kiba. 

Speaking to Over Ze Weekend, Hanscana lamented that the simmering differences between the three stars was affecting other industry players and slowly eroding strides made over the years.

Hanscana, for instance, revealed that organizers are now treading on thin ice on who to hire among the three for shows so as not to appear to take sides. 

He urged the entertainers to quash their beef for posterity purposes.

“Haya mambo ya mabifu yanaharibu sana biashara hasa kwa sisi waandaaji wa muziki huo na baadhi ya wasanii. Mfano; unakuta msanii anapafomu labda kwenye shoo ya Uno ya Harmo, basi watu wengine watachukulia kigezo hicho kumtosa msanii huyo kwenye shoo nyingine. Hayo mabifu tunaomba yaishe kwani yanatuathiri mno,” Hanscana was quoted saying.

The director’s sentiments come days after Kiba’s heavy fallout with Platnumz played out in the public prior to the just concluded Wasafi Festival.

Organized by Platnumz, the Inama hitmaker reached out to both Harmonize and Kiba for a slot in the event's richly decorated roster.

Kiba on his part, however, nonchalantly turned down the invite and fired back at Platnumz that he should let him be as he has no interest in being part of any Wasafi engagements.

The Mapenzi yana Run Dunia crooner noted that whilst he supports what his compatriot his doing, he has his own businesses to run and denied that he had an axe to grind with the Wasafi CEO.

“Diamond nilishamwambia sitoweza kushiriki katika onyesho lolote atakalofanya, nafurahia mafanikio anayopata, kama amepata siwezi kufanya kwa sababu mimi pia nina yangu ya kuyafanikisha, hakuna ugomvi kati yetu.

“Nilipomjibu nikitumia mfano wa penseli nilimaanisha kuwa aache mambo ya kitoto kwa sababu nilishamjibu, mimi sio mtoto mdogo sirudii tena kujibu, mimi mwanaume na mwanaume anaongea mara moja tu," said Kiba.

Mtwara born heartthrob Harmonize is understood to be in good terms with Ali Kiba but does not see eye to eye with his one-time mentor, Diamond Platnumz.

Harmonize’s relationship with Platnumz hit an all-time low in August after he wrote to Wasafi label expressing his desire to exit.

The unceremonious departure is said to have cost the Never Give Up star sh22 million. He reportedly sold three of his houses to break free from his contract.
