On the matter of Kenyan music not getting enough airplay in Tanzania, Kiba dismissed such claims.
"On that issue of Kenyan music not being played, please we need each other because we are neighbours, but besides being neighbours, if we are to have beef, we won't have that identity we won't have that unity as East Africans, with shared interests in music.
These stories of saying that one person can bring problems, in an entire continent, let's say me I have wronged Otile Brown, if he wrongs me, I can't blame Kenyans and say this is Kenyans habits.
Sema Otile ndio tabia yake. Thats how family is. If have a problem with a Kenyan artiste, don't shift blame to the entire Tanzanian industry. Sema Ali Kiba ndio alivyo, ametukosea, that is how it should be, we are East Africans, we need to move forward, there are many," he said.
