Tanzanian singer Aslay has dismissed the speculation that he is planning to join Diamond Platnumz's WCB Wasafi record label. The rumors started after Diamond Platnumz praised Aslay's talent and expressed his interest in signing him.
Aslay, who is currently signed to Rockstar Africa, took to his Instagram account to respond to Diamond Platnumz's offer. He thanked him for the recognition, but stated that he is happy with his current label and has no intention of leaving.
"I appreciate the love and respect from Diamond Platnumz, he is a big brother and a legend in the music industry. However, I am not looking for a new label, I am very satisfied with Rockstar Africa. They have supported me and my career since day one. I am loyal to them and I am not going anywhere," Aslay wrote.
Aslay also clarified that he has a good relationship with Diamond Platnumz and WCB Wasafi, and that there is no bad blood between them. He said that he is open to collaborate with them in the future, but not as a signee.
"I respect WCB Wasafi and all the artists under them. They are doing great things for the Tanzanian music scene. I have no problem working with them on projects, but as an independent artist, not as a member of their label. I hope this clears the air and puts an end to the rumors," he added.
Aslay is one of the most popular singers in Tanzania, known for his hits such as "Mhudumu", "Natamba", and "Koko". He rose to fame as a member of the boy band Yamoto Band, before going solo in 2017. He has since collaborated with artists such as Alikiba, Nandy, and Bahati.
