Why Diamond failed to show up at Ivan’s burial despite confirming on NTV he would be with Zari at her ex hubby’s funeral

Diamond Platnumz did not attend Ivan Ssemwanga’s funeral in Kayunga District, Central Uganda even though he confirmed he would be there to show support to his wife Zari.

Last Friday May 26^th, Diamond was interviewed by Larry Madowo on the Trend and he confirmed that he would travel to Uganda to attend Ivan’s burial.

“Well kwa ukweli ulikua ni wakati mgumu na mbaka saa hivi ni wakati mgumu kwasababu nlikua nko booked muda kidogo kuhusiana na Korogo festival, na msiba umetokea sasa kucancel tu ghafla show ya watu unajua inawezekana ukapata taswira tofauti, wengine wakachukua tofauti. Sikua na jinsi. So, lakini nliongea na mzazi mwenzangu (Zari) akanielewa, lakini nikimaliza hapa show tu na ntaenda Uganda kwasababu ya mazishi, kuzika. Baada ya hapo ndo ntarudi nyumbani,” Diamond said on the Trend.

So why did Diamond fail to travel to Uganda as promised? Diamond’s manager Sallam Sharaff said they (Diamond and his crew) failed to travel to Uganda because they discovered that Ivan’s body had already been transported upcountry for burial.

Sharaff said Diamond was left with no choice but to board a plane back home instead. (Diamond performed in Nairobi on Sunday).
