There is a difference between being an Internationally acclaimed music star and being respected by your very own including your motherland\u00b4s President.<\/p>\n

Tanzanian President John Pombe Magufuli has never shied away from displaying his public love for bongo flava especially in regard to the Wasafi team.<\/p>\n

Harmonize has come close enough to President Magufuli to the extent of performing a song praising the leader for the country\u00b4s developments.<\/p>\n

Well, that might have seemed close enough but Diamond Platnumz seems to be on a mission to outdo his now rival, Konde Boy.<\/p>\n

Amidst his much hyped 10 year anniversary train ride, President Magufuli decided to surprise Chibu live, during his end of year performance.<\/p>\n

Phone Call<\/h2>\n

In a video that has since gone viral, the Tanzanian president phoned Chama Cha Mapinduzi’s Ideology and Publicity Secretary Humphrey Polepole who attended the event.<\/p>\n

Polepole then handed over the handset to a drained Diamond Platnumz following an electrifying performance of his Tetema hit.<\/p>\n

With an effective sound system on set, President Magufuli\u00b4s voice boomed all over the place as the crowd cheered on, confirming that this was indeed reality.<\/p>\n

In a bid to calm down the exhilarated crowd, Platnumz insisted:<\/p>\n

Tumsikize sasa.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speaking to the head of state, Platnumz expressed:<\/p>\n

Tunakupenda sana.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As Magufuli responded:<\/p>\n

Ata mimi ninakupenda sana.<\/p>\n

Nawapenda watu wa Kigoma. Ningetamani sana niwe hapo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At one point, Magufuli could be heard praising Naseeb affirming:<\/p>\n

Diamond, wewe ni mwanaume.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was in the midst of his managers, Babu Tale and Mkubwa Fella who vociferously cheered on the crowd.<\/p>\n

As he concluded, Platnumz sang along:<\/p>\n

Wataweza kweli? Kushindana nasi? Ata wakiungana? …kututukana?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These moments were indeed priceless yet one that none, had preempted.<\/p>\n
