Diamond Platnumz Reveals He Was Conned Over Ksh 240 Million When Buying Private Jet

Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz has revealed that he was conned out of a whopping Ksh 240,591,200 when purchasing his own private jet.

Diamond made the revelation when explaining to fans why he still uses hired private jets instead of his own, as he had previously announced. He said that an agent who was helping him purchase the jet was the one who conned him.

“I had bought a very big plane, but they conned me about Tsh 4 billion,” he told Wasafi Media.

Diamond added that he had reported the fraudster to the Tanzanian government, which is currently investigating the issue.

“The government knows, if you are conned that amount of money you would go crazy,” he said.

Diamond also revealed that he has started to be compensated in installments.

“They have started paying. I expected the jet to land here in August last year, but by the end of the year, it was not yet here. They disrespected me because they made me look like i had announced fake news,” he said.

Diamond had announced his plans to purchase a private jet in May 2022.

“We bought a 2021 Rolls Royce Black Bedge Zero killometre last Year, and we buying a Private Jet this Year!!! ✈ … that’s the definition of having the best management!” he wrote on social media.
