L-R : Riderman;Diplomate

Radio Salus’ presenters, Mike Karangwa and Geoffrey on their Sunday show aired that Riderman ‘dissed’ fellow rapper ‘Diplomate’, in his song ‘Umwana w’imihanda’.

In an interview with The New Times, Riderman denied claims that his song was about the origin of hip-hop, and its founders.

However, Diplomate, said, "I wonder where those journalists got that information from, because I’ve never told them such a thing.”

The furious ‘Diplomate’ also complained that the same journalists reported that he refused to perform on Meddy’s concert because he was not paid.

"That’s untrue. Possibly these guys have hidden motives, because I have never told them such a thing” he added.
