Award-winning Tanzanian singer Naseeb Abdul Juma, popularly known as Diamond Platnumz, has released a new jam and it is getting a lot of airplay on TV and radio stations across the continent.

The jam titled Jeje is so exceptional that it clocked 1 million views in the first 14 hours. I don’t know what you make of this but it’s simply amazing.

Jeje is a love ballad, it is about a certain girl who is driving him crazy and he’s ready to go to any length to make her his. Perhaps, the only difference is that he has used Afrobeats on this jam unlike his previous releases.

The fact that he ditched Bongo Flava beats this time around is the reason why many people, including myself,  can’t get enough of this jam because it’s something that we didn’t foresee.

Jeje is well arranged. It just flows. It’s those songs that you just to listen to over and without getting bored of it. His lyricism is also on point and I’m sure many people will appreciate the simplicity of the song.

One of the things that I noticed about this track is that he threw in some Nigerian Pidgin and if you ask me, I know you probably won’t, but it was really necessary because he has used an Afrobeats track.

Of course, his vocals on this jam are great and I know many ladies will appreciate this fact because it almost sounds like he is speaking to each of them.

The beat by Kel P Vibes was impeccable. Other than the fact that it is catchy, I know you will agree with me that it is also danceable. However, the beat has been a source of controversy since it sounds like Wizkid’s Joro.

I totally love the video concept for Jeje. Director Kenny has once again proven that he has a powerful mind. There is a bit of simplicity to it but it’s generally dope. Kudos to Diamond Platnumz.

Watch Jeje below and tell us what you think.

Bongo Flava superstar, Diamond Platnumz has been called out for stealing music concepts from Nigerian powerhouses, Burna Boy and Wizkid.

Chibu released a new jam just Wednesday, the 26th of February on YouTube but fans were quick to take note of the song´s similarities with Joro and Angelina.

Wizkid is the voice behind Joro as Burna Boy takes up Angelina.

Flocking the comment section – that was later disabled – fans blasted the Tanzanian artist for lacking originality.

Not just the two jams, fans believe Diamond also sampled Wizkid and Burna Boy´s ¨On The Low¨ hit.

A section pinned the blame on fact that the three artistes shared the same producer – Kelp Vibez – for the particular hits.

However, others were quick to note that Diamond sounds just like the Nigerian heavyweights, therefore lacking authenticity.

History repeats itself

It is sad. Diamond and his Kenyan lover, Tanasha Donna hit the headlines for basically the same reasons just last week.

Thursday, the 20th of February, Brazilian singer, Iza publicly faulted the two for taking up video scenes from her ¨Brisa¨ jam.

The lovebirds were forced to pull down the video since.

So now, a different case is already cooking.
