Weighing in on the debate, Otile took to his Instagram story to explain his point of view explaining that in his opinion, Diamond has actually worked very hard and deserves his success.

“Support who you like. Support what you like. Music has no boundaries… Jealousy is a sign of weakness and it ain't for us. if you ain't popping you just ain't, even if you try to bring your competition down. You can never force people to like your shi*. I got nothing but love for every artist, even foreign artists! Might poke them sometimes but it's nothing personal. This is just entertainment,.. just coz we’re being vouched for in these complaints doesn’t mean we feel/ think the same way. Our brother deserves it, he has worked for it. I got respect for all artists regardless of what music they sing. If it makes money it makes sense.. do you, Let us stop whining ikibuma rudi jikoni. For our Media keep supporting us, not only big hits or big artists.When a song is good peana shavu even to an upcoming artist,” he posted.

He concluded by reinstating that it is okay for some people not to like his music but it would not stop his hustle. "Its ok not to like my music or support.. a hustler will always be one regardless. Support what you like!!” he added.
