was the biggest African music star between 2013/2014 before the entrance of Diamond Platnumz, who later took the shine.

Diamond moved on to collaborate with over 10 Nigerian stars and was rewarded as 2015 Africa’s best act at the Europe Music Awards (EMAs), and best live act at the MAMAs same year.

Their first altercation occurred when Ali and Wizkid had a backstage feud over who would perform before the other at Chris Brown’s concert in Kenya.

‘Ali Kiba felt he is bigger than Wizkid in Kenya hence, he could not understand why he was scheduled to perform before,’ Kenyan media stated then.

Ali won the dispute and Wizkid had to perform first. Besides, it was in East Africa, NOT West.

The French-speaking singer was voted ‘favorite male artist’ at Tanzania People’s Choice Awards (Tuzo Za Watu), so he has all the rights to brag.
