The mother of Diamond X Muzik, a recently evicted contestant from TV3’s Talented Kidz, has leveled serious allegations against the popular children’s talent show, accusing organizers of corruption, favoritism, and prioritizing profit over genuine talent. Her son’s elimination on April, 2025, sparked an emotional response that’s now gone viral on social media.
In a TikTok video, the aggrieved mother claimed that families were pressured to spend thousands of Ghana cedis weekly to keep their children in the competition. According to her, those who didn’t comply faced eviction—regardless of their talent or performance.
“They already know the winner before the show even begins,” she alleged. “It’s not about talent anymore. Change the name from Talented Kidz to Pay and Win—that would be more honest.”
She further claimed that the final outcomes are often predetermined, suggesting that votes and talent have little to do with who takes home the crown. Her frustration echoes a broader concern about transparency in reality TV competitions, especially those involving children.
The mother didn’t stop there—she questioned the legacy of the show, pointing out that most past winners have faded into obscurity. “This is the 16th season. Show me ten past winners who made it far. You can’t—because the show doesn’t nurture talent; it exploits it.”
The accusations come after Diamond X Muzik, Dirriu De Poet, and the dance group Beat Monsters were evicted from the current season.
The show’s organizers have yet to respond publicly to the accusations.
This controversy has reignited conversations about fairness and accountability in youth-focused entertainment platforms, with many calling for greater transparency in how such competitions are judged and managed.
