Uche claimed Diamond Platnumz was throwing shade at Burna Boy and Wizid because he wanted to penetrate the American market.

The Nollywood actor wrote:

“Before #NANA song with Flavour, nobody took you seriously as a singer for #Africa despite your popularity in #Tanzania you still felt the need to enter #Naija market to dominate African #music space, luckily you eventually did, thanks to our generous singers upgrading East #African singers since 1901. Throwing shades at Starboy and Burnaboy for allegedly refusing to do collabo with you because you want to enter #American global market is wrong.”
