Tanzanian Diamond and Congolese Koffi Olomide took the world by storm when they dropped their hot new jam ‘Waah!’. The Bongo superstar created the #WaahDanceChallenge and it quickly became popular; from fans to dance crews to prominent people, people just can't get enough of the tune.
Diamond's Waah Dance Challenge has gone viral everywhere. Everyone is doing it. And not one to be left behind when it comes to internet trends, Kenya's president Uhuru Kenyatta joined in the Waah fun a couple of days ago.
The president was attending a youth campaign event when he was urged to the stage to show his Waah moves. The president is always a good sport when it comes to viral dance participation.
But what ensued was absolute hilarity. Waah may have been the song playing, but Waah was not what Uhuru was dancing. The struggle was real! His moves were a strange mix between dabbing, zangalewa, and a white guy at a rap concert. But as always he got an 'A' for effort from the crowd.
Diamond Platnumz definitely noticed Uhuru's effort too and gave him a big up on his Instagram page. Quietly, Diamond will not have been happy to see the way that the Kenyan president butchered his dance challenge, but as always, he knows where his bread is buttered when it comes to his Kenyan fanbase.
""Thank you so Much Mr President UHURU KENYATA and the whole Kenya for the Love...Seeing our leaders supporting our Work, means alot to us.... and not only as Musicians but the African youth."
Just last week, Diamond brushed off criticism from Kenyan rapper Octopizzo to give a special message to his Kenyan fans. Octopizzo cursed Kenyans online for supporting the Bongo star too much instead of our own singers like Otile Brown. He said:
"MFs out here gassing Diamond but will not support Otile Brown. The Mediocrity on this platforms. Smh"
