Diana B, alias Diana Bahati, has a new song titled “Bibi ya Tajiri” which was released a few hours ago. The song’s title, which translates to “Wife of a Rich Man,” has been a topic of online debate and is likely a response to a social media comparison between her and socialite Amber Ray, who has also used the title.
Diana leveraged this public conversation as the main promotional vehicle for the new song, creating a lot of anticipation which served as the primary teaser for the new song.
Diana sings about being a wealthy and powerful woman in her own right, not just the wife of a rich man. The video shows her in a luxurious mansion, driving high-end vehicles, and leading a business meeting. The song emphasizes her financial independence, with lyrics about paying her own bills and not needing anyone to cover for her. The music video concludes with a spoken word section where she is declared “the rich person herself” and her husband proudly calls himself “the husband of the rich woman.”
Perhaps in her quest and as is characteristic of her, she pulls off quite a brave stunt by seemingly poking fun at a select famous rappers including Jua Cali and Khaligraph Jones, going as far as referring to herself as the “best rapper right now.” “Bibi ya Tajiri” samples the late Esir’s famous hit “Saree” and she has publicly dedicated the song to him via her social platforms.
