After a brief hiatus from the music scene, Diana B, alias Diana Bahati, has made a dramatic return with her new song, "Bibi ya Tajiri," which translates to "Wife of a Rich Man." The song, released just hours ago, has already become a topic of online debate, but not just because of its catchy beats. In a move that is both a bold statement and a clever marketing ploy, Diana has sampled the legendary beats of the late Kenyan artist E-Sir's famous hit, "Saree," publicly dedicating the song to him.

The song’s title itself has sparked conversation, as it appears to be a direct response to a social media comparison between her and socialite Amber Ray, who has also used the title. But Diana takes the concept a step further, singing about her own wealth and power, asserting that she is a rich and independent woman in her own right, not just the wife of a rich man. The music video reinforces this message, showing her in a luxurious mansion, driving high-end vehicles, and leading a business meeting. The video concludes with her being declared "the rich person herself" while her husband, Bahati, proudly calls himself "the husband of the rich woman."

While the song's message of female empowerment and financial independence has been praised by some, others are questioning her creative choices and promotional tactics. In a move that has been widely criticized, Diana appears to poke fun at a select group of famous rappers, including Jua Cali and Khaligraph Jones, going as far as declaring herself "the best rapper right now." The music video even features a scene where a photo of Khaligraph Jones is torn, a stunt that many viewers believe was a deliberate act of disrespect. The incident has led many to question whether she is pushing too hard for fame or if she is, in fact, a great musician and rapper.

For many, the biggest question is whether she "wasted a legend's beats." E-Sir, who passed away in 2003, is a revered figure in Kenyan music, and his hit "Saree" is a classic. The decision to sample his work is a bold move, and whether it was a tribute or a publicity stunt is a matter of fierce debate. Her fans and some listeners believe she has successfully leveraged the public conversation around the song's title and her bold claims to create anticipation and excitement. Others, however, believe she is just a publicity-seeking personality who lacks the lyrical skill to be taken seriously as a rapper.
