A video capturing the meeting between Bongo star Naseeb Abdul Juma, popularly known as Diamond Platnumz and American singer Jason Derulo has captivated internet users.
The WCB label boss, already trending for various reasons, is now being mocked on social media for his English.
Diamond Platnumz recently met with Jason Derulo, and the two enjoyed their time together.
They even collaborated on Diamond’s song, ‘Komasava.’ However, a video of their interaction has drawn significant attention online.
In the video, the two musicians are seen conversing in English. Jason Derulo asks Diamond, “When did you get to town?”
to which Diamond replies in broken English, “2nd, right? 2nd in the morning.”
Another artist in the video asks Diamond if he is a dancer, to which he responds that he is a musician who can dance.
Netizens, especially Kenyans, have had mixed reactions to the singer’s English.
Some have mocked him for his language skills, while others have come to his defence.
The video has sparked a lively debate on social media. Supporters argue that Diamond Platnumz’s talent and success in the music industry should overshadow any language barriers.
They praised his ability to collaborate with international artists and highlighted that English is not his first language.
Critics, on the other hand, have used the video to poke fun at the singer, pointing out the awkwardness in his speech.
Despite the mixed reactions, Diamond Platnumz remains a prominent figure in the African music scene. His ability to connect with artists from around the world and produce hit songs has cemented his status as a leading musician.
The collaboration with Jason Derulo on ‘Komasava’ is just one example of his global reach and influence.
As the video continues to circulate, it is clear that Diamond Platnumz’s fans and critics will keep the conversation alive.
Regardless of the mixed opinions, his impact on the music industry remains undeniable.
