When I submitted that song to my distributor, which is Warner, they didn\u2019t want it. They said it\u2019s trash, they said this song we don\u2019t want to take it,\u201d Diamond told Deutsche Welle (DW) in a recent interview.<br \/>\nAccording to his contract, Diamond is supposed to submit certain songs to Warner for distribution, and he says he did not doubt th<em>at \u2018Komasava\u2019 <\/em>was exactly the kind of material he was supposed to submit.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/nairobinews.nation.africa\/diamonds-jason-derulo-trending-komasava-remix-cost-sh24-million\/\">Diamond\u2019s, Jason Derulo trending \u2018Komasava Remix\u2019 cost Sh24 million<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo when they didn\u2019t want to take the song, I went home and listened to the song and thought, \u2018Why don\u2019t they get this song, this song is a hit\u2019. So I dropped it.\u201d He adds.<br \/>\nDiamond claims he was never given a satisfactory explanation by Warner as to why <em>Komasava,<\/em> which he presented at the Grammys, didn\u2019t fit the bill.<br \/>\n\u201cYou know, when you work with these big distribution and record and labels, they still have this old mindset. They believe in you singing in English or they believe in the old type of sounds that were big. So when you give them a new sound, they don\u2019t want to take it\u201d. Diamond claimed.<br \/>\nBut after the song was released and became a huge hit, even catching the attention of some international stars like U.S. soccer player Paul Pogba and pop star Chris Brown, Warner had a change of heart.<br \/>\n\u201cAfter the song came out they wanted it and I told my manager I don\u2019t want them to have it because they rejected the song. Look at Chris Brown dancing to that song. Swae Lee loved the song, he wanted us to do the song.
