Tanzanian singer Ibraah has addressed claims surrounding his exit from Konde Gang, clarifying the role played by Diamond Platnumz in his decision to leave the label.
Speaking in an interview on Saturday, April 11, 2026, Ibraah dismissed widespread speculation that Diamond influenced his departure or sought to weaken Konde Gang. Instead, he offered a different perspective based on his personal experience.
Setting the Record Straight
Ibraah explained that public perception is often shaped by fans who speak on behalf of artists, sometimes creating narratives that may not reflect reality. In contrast, he described Diamond as someone who supported him during a difficult period in his career.
“When we talk about fans, even Diamond’s fans sometimes speak on his behalf. But when I talk about Diamond, I speak of him as someone who helped me during a time when things were hard for me until things got better,” he said.
Support During a Difficult Transition
The singer revealed that at a time when he was struggling within the label, Diamond stepped in and offered assistance that helped him transition into an independent artiste.
According to Ibraah, the support he received allowed him to pursue his music freely and earn directly from his work without being tied to a record label.
“The great thing about the help Diamond gave me is that now, as a solo artiste… whatever small earnings I get from music are mine,” he said, adding that the intervention helped him stay on track with his dreams.
Legal Help and Career Freedom
One of the most significant forms of support, Ibraah disclosed, was assistance in securing legal representation. As he prepared to leave Konde Gang, Diamond helped him find a lawyer, making the transition smoother and more structured.
He emphasised that this kind of support was invaluable, especially coming from an established figure in the industry who understood the challenges he was facing.
No Signing Talks
Despite their close association, Ibraah also addressed ongoing speculation about joining Diamond’s label. He clarified that the two have never held discussions about a possible signing.
“People kept asking me why Diamond has not signed me… but this is business. When he feels like signing me, he will,” he said.
He maintained that while fans often expect such a move, decisions of that nature are purely business-driven and should happen at the right time, if at all.
Grateful for the Support
Ibraah concluded by noting that the help he received from Diamond was significant—arguably more impactful than being signed to his label. He credited the Bongo Flava star for stepping in when he needed guidance most, allowing him to move forward independently and with greater control over his career.
