Africa’s top artists Diamond Platnumz and Rayvanny’s new hit, Tetema, which is currently trending on top of the charts in East Africa and beyond has been rocked by controversy.
The striking similarities between the two videos has raised eyebrows, eliciting a discussion on whether to call it copy and paste or just borrowing a scene from what already existed.
This is not the first video Diamond has been accused of copying though. The award-winning singer’s video Fire featuring Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has a striking resemblance to U.S. singer Jason Derulo’s Swalla and I Miss You as like a Swahili version of Adele’s famous Hello hit.
In July 2018, he was accused of using a concept from Sharuk Khan Movie for the song Baila.
He defended his act saying that he used the concept because Khan is one of his role models.
Diamond and Rayvanny are yet to respond to the allegations.
