Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz is being heavily criticised online for featuring a Confederate flag in the video of his latest hit song.
The Confederacy was the group of southern states that fought to keep slavery during the US Civil War – and the flags are seen as divisive and a symbol of racial tensions in the US.
One of Diamond’s video scenes in the song Gidi has two of the flags displayed as he dances while donning a cowboy look.
Some tweeters have reacted to the musician’s video.
“The Confederate flag in your video is disturbing,” a user wrote.
“Confederate flags?” Clyde Blaise tweeted while adding a dustbin emoji.
