Diamond Platnumz reveals he was conned of Ksh 240 million

Diamond Platnumz has revealed that he was scammed out of a staggering Ksh 240,591,200 while trying to buy his own private jet. He made the revelation in an effort to clarify to his fans why he continues to fly in chartered private jets rather than his own, as he had previously announced.

According to Diamond, he was duped by an agent who was helping him with the purchase. He told Wasafi Media that he had already paid Tsh 4 billion for the plane, but that the agent had never delivered it.

Diamond said that he had reported the scammer to the Tanzanian authorities, and that they were investigating the matter. He also said that the scammer had started repaying him in installments, but that he was still waiting for the full amount.

Diamond had originally announced his plans to purchase a private jet in May 2022. He had said that he was buying a 2021 Rolls Royce Black Bedge Zero kilometer and a private jet that year.
