Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz has featured Confederate flags 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 has two of the flags displayed as he dances 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.
