Tanzanian blogger Mwijaku has put himself at the centre of a very public plea after leaking a private message he sent to Nigerian superstar Davido, asking the singer to step in and help him settle a costly legal dispute with Diamond Platnumz.
In the DM, shared on Instagram on November 11, 2026, Mwijaku identified himself as a Tanzanian influencer and appealed directly to Davido for help.
“I have one request from you. Please spare some minutes just to clarify some of the misunderstanding between me and SIMBA,” he wrote, using Diamond’s widely recognised nickname.
Why Mwijaku is reaching out to Davido
The timing of the message is no coincidence. Davido is currently in Tanzania alongside his wife, Chioma, as guests of Diamond Platnumz, making the Afrobeats star arguably the most well-placed person to mediate between the two Tanzanians.
Diamond had previously taken legal action against Mwijaku, reportedly accusing him of defamation on his Instagram show.
Through his lawyer, the Bongo Flava icon demanded a $1 million settlement, a figure that Mwijaku says is well beyond his means.
Mwijaku’s plea to the Nigerian star
In the heartfelt message, Mwijaku was candid about his financial situation, writing:
“He sued for a 1M$ settlement; please help me to make peace with him, because I can’t afford it. To be honest, I am coming from a poor family, and I don’t have any relative that can help me on that.”
He closed the message with a direct appeal:
“Please OBO do it for me, and God will reward you and your family.”
By leaking the DM publicly rather than waiting for a private response, Mwijaku appears to be banking on social media pressure to draw attention to his predicament, hoping Davido or Diamond’s camp will take notice. Whether Davido has seen the message or plans to intervene remains to be seen.
