“Yapo mengi ila nilivyoonanga ile clip video ya rafiki yangu wa kike anaogelea kwenye pool la bro ilinigusa nayo ile,” Marioo said in reference to the video.
Marioo, later, in an interview with a local publication clarified that he had no problem with the WCB boss dating his ex-lover.

Because I respect him, he can take any woman he wants even the ones I am dating. I can never hate him because he deserves the best and all I can say is that I will always thank him,” he said.
Days later, Mimi shallowly spoke about the video insisting that her and Diamond were just good friends.
