Love, Lies, and Controversy: Diamond Platnumz’s Tangled Affair with Rita Norbeth

The recent drama surrounding Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz and Rita Norbeth has sparked intense discussions online and within the entertainment industry across Africa. Known for his talent in Bongo Flava music and his highly publicized personal life, Diamond has once again found himself at the center of attention after private videos and messages involving him and a woman named Rita Norbeth surfaced.
According to reports circulating online, videos of Diamond Platnumz and Rita Norbeth, alleged to be his secret lover, have gone viral on social media. The clips show the two in intimate situations, triggering widespread debate. Diamond issued an official statement via his Instagram account, claiming that the videos were old, recorded back in 2023, and that he and Rita have had no relationship since then. He also mentioned that he had informed his current girlfriend, Zuchu, about the situation, and the couple had forgiven each other and moved on with their lives.
However, these statements have not stopped many from questioning Diamond’s fidelity and his pattern of personal conduct. Some accuse him of maintaining multiple romantic relationships simultaneously, a recurring theme in his past conflicts with individuals and industry peers. Rita Norbeth, who is now said to have been pregnant from their alleged relationship, has also responded by sharing her side of the story, claiming she felt wronged and was using the old messages and videos as a means of self-defense.
This controversy has added fuel to the ongoing feud between Diamond and others in the industry, including Harmonize and other artists who have previously criticized him. Fans are divided, with some supporting Diamond while others believe he should take more responsibility for his actions. Some of Zuchu’s followers have expressed outrage, suggesting that this drama could jeopardize her relationship with Diamond, although Zuchu has yet to make an official statement on the matter.
On her part, Rita Norbeth has faced significant public scrutiny after being accused of “blackmailing” Diamond. In some online posts, she has argued that she wanted to present her side of the story and reveal the truth about their relationship. However, Diamond has maintained that the issue is now in the hands of the courts, and he sees no need to comment further until a legal decision is reached.
This saga has become a hot topic on social media, especially given Diamond Platnumz’s status as one of East Africa’s biggest music stars. Some view these dramas as part of the price of fame, while others believe they harm the music industry and his personal reputation. Still, many agree that Diamond should focus more on his private life to avoid such controversies in the future.
For now, the situation between Diamond, Rita, and Zuchu remains tense, with fans eagerly awaiting the outcome of this drama. Will Diamond manage to regain public trust, or will this controversy continue to be a source of debate for some time? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: the African music scene is never short of thrilling stories.
