When singer Avril starred as a vixen in Diamond Platnumz's hit song ‘Kesho’, there was a lot of talk around her debut in the video.
In a recent interview with YouTuber Madubi, Avril denied ever dating the Tanzanian superstar.
"Everyone thought Diamond and I dated and others thought I was now a video vixen, but it was all music, and even up to date, we chat," she said.
She said their association was and is purely work-related.
The 'Chokoza' hitmaker said Diamond has been her friend for a long time but they have never been an item.
"We don’t talk that often. But when he calls me or I call him for help on a particular matter, we have that connectivity."
Avril also denied that she also shares her songs with Diamond for preview before they are officially released.
"Fake news. We don’t have such kind of a relationship. But yes, once in a while, I have sent him my songs for an opinion or a collabo from his record label WCB Wasafi, but it’s not like he has to approve my songs before being released."
Diamond said Avril helped him get into the Kenyan market after she was featured in the song 'Kesho'.
"Shout out to Avril kwa sababu alinipokea vizuri na nishoot na yeye video," he said.
"Nashukuru sana, namheshimu sana na nampenda sana. Alichangia pakubwa video yangu ya 'Kesho' ipendwe zaidi Kenya."
