Diamond’s father Abdul Juma has dismissed popular belief that he abandoned his son when he was only a kid only to resurface later when Diamond was rich and famous.

Speaking during an interview with Mwananchi newspaper, mzee Abdul said that Diamond’s mother Sanura Sandra and him went their separate ways when their son was in form one.

The 52-year-old further said that he was yearning to be interviewed together with Diamond and his mother Sanura so that the whole world could know the truth.

“Natamani siku moja nikutanishwe katika mahojiano na Diamond na mama yake ile kila mmoja atoe alilonalo moyoni. Huyu mtoto kanipa majina mengi kutokana na yanayoongelewa mtaani kwamba nilimtelekeza, wakati hakuna ukweli wowote. Mimi niliachana na mama yake wakati akiwa kidato cha kwanza,” said Abdul Juma.

Communication

Mzee Abdul also revealed that his ex wife Sanura usually contacts him whenever she pleases. He however said that the last time Diamond and him talked was way back when he was still dating Wema Sepetu.

“Tena wakati mwingine na maneno ya karaha, lakini ana afadhali (Sanura) kuliko mtoto ambaye mara ya mwisho tuliwasiliana akiwa na Wema Sepetu ambaya alikuwa akija naye hapa mara kwa mara kunisalimia,” said Diamond’s father.

Diamond Platnumz’s own biological father Abdul Juma is just a shoe vendor in Tanzania while his son is eating life with a big spoon.

Speaking during an interview with Mwananchi newspaper, Mzee Abdul revealed that he hoped that his several interviews with the press would help soften his son’s heart and change his attitude towards him. But that has not been the case.

“Tangu niaze kuhojiwa, nilikuwa nikiamini kuwa ningeweza kubadili msimamo wa mwanangu anayetajwa kuwa msanii tajiri namba moja Tanzania. Badala yake naonekana kama nalilia kusaidiwa na mtoto wangu. Pamoja na kuwa na mtoto maarufu ndani na nje ya nchi, maisha yangu ndio kama hivi unavyoyaona. Naishi Magomeni Kagera na nyumba yangu ya kawaida tu, ambayo naamini hata siku Diamond akikwama kimaisha atakuja kuishi kwa kuwa hapa ni kwao, japokuwa simuombei hilo,” said Abdul Juma.

Health

Mzee Abdul further revealed that he has developed complication with his legs because of walking over long distances while selling shoes.

The 52-year-old says that at time he can’t walk over long distance while sometimes the situation gets so bad that he can barely stand on his own.

“Lakini maisha kwa sasa si mazuri kwa kuwa nasumbuliwa na tatizo la mguu. Inanifanya wakati mwingine nishindwe kutembea muda mrefu. Kama unavyoniona miguu inaniuma na wakati mwingine nashindwa kuinuka hata kitadani,” said Diamond’s father.

Mzee Abdul pleads for help from well-wishers, he says he can’t afford the cost of medication since he also doesn’t have any health insurance.

“Labda ningekuwa na bima ya afya ingekuwa msaada kwangu lakini ndio havyo sina.”

Diamond Platnumz has already set date to marry Tanasha Donna Oketch. He announced he will marry the Kenyan beauty in a wedding that will be held for four days – from February 14th to 17th 2019.

The ‘Jibebe’ hit maker stated that the 22-year-old Kenyan beauty has all the qualities to make a good wife. He admitted that he was first impressed by Tanasha’s beauty before he evaluated her character which also impressed him.

Wedding invitation

Diamond’s biological father Abdul Juma wants his son to invite him to his wedding. Mzee Abdul is just like any other stranger to his own son.

Diamond has been treating his deadbeat father like a common stranger ever since he resurfaced after he (Diamond) became rich and famous.

Mzee Abdul admitted that his son didn’t tell him he was planning to marry Tanasha during an interview with Showbiz Xtra.

“Sijaambiwa habari za ndoa ila nasikia tu watu mitaani wanazungumzia suala hilo, kikubwa naomba iwe ya heri Mungu afanikishe nitafurahi sana mwanangu akioa lakini namuomba sana asiache kunialika, asiponialika nitaona amenidharau sana, nitajisikia vibaya,” said Abdul Juma.

Diamond Platnumz is still bitter with his biological father Abdul Juma for abandoning him and his mother while he was only a kid.

Mzee Abdul has been desperately trying to get back in his son’s life but Diamond has refused to let him in, instead he treats him like a stranger.

The ‘Katika’ hit maker turned 29 on October second but he decided to hold a mega birthday celebration in Tandale on October 5th where he spent million of shillings giving back to residents of his former hood.

No invitation

In an interview with Global Publishers, Mzee Abdul expressed a feeling of deep distress on learning how his son spent million to give back to the society without inviting him to the event.

Mzee Abdul is however optimistic that Diamond will invite him next year because he heard that his son will be giving back to the community every year he celebrates his birthday.

“I wish na mimi ningekuwepo pale. Nilitamani kushuhudia pia mambo mazuri aliyoyafanya mwanangu maana awali nilidhani ni jambo dogo, lakini baadaye nikaona ni jambo kubwa sana.

“Nilipofuatilia kwenye TV nikaona mwanangu anatoa Bajaj, anatoa bima, anatoa mikopo kwa akina mama, pamoja na bodaboda kwa kweli moyo wangu ulifurahi sana.

“Ile ishu ya kuuza mitumba aliyoizungumza, hata mimi niliuza. Pengine pia ningeweza na mimi kuwatia moyo mamia ya watu waliofurika pale.

“Nilisikia alisema amepanga kufanya kila mwaka hivyo bado naamini Mungu akitujalia uzima, ishallah mwakani anaweza kunialika kwani hakuna tatizo kati yetu,” said Abdul Juma.

Diamond Platnumz and his father Abdul Juma don’t get alone. The Tanzanian superstar is obviously still bitter with his father for abandoning them while he was still a kid.

Four days ago, Diamond took to Instagram and shared old family photo of his father, mother and him chilling on the veranda in front of their house.

My son will suffer

Diamond’s father reacted after Diamond posted the photo, he called out his son for refusing to help him while he is still alive. Mzee Abdul says that Diamond will suffer when he dies.

“Niliiona hiyo picha na nilijisikia kawaida na niliiona ni nzuri, haina tatizo lolote pia Diamond mimi ni baba yake hata iweje na ninajua ananichukia sasa hivi kwa kuwa bado ananiona niko hai lakini atakuja kupata taabu sana pindi nitakapokufa,” Abdul Juma told Ijumaa Wikienda.

Diamond Platnumz has dismissed claims that he has neglected his father Abdul Juma. The singer admits he doesn’t have a close relationship with his dad but asserts that he also has no beef with him.

Abdul Juma abandoned Diamond and his mother while the ‘Waka’ hit maker was just a kid. Diamond was solely raised by his mother.

Mzee Abdul later resurfaced when Diamond had become a superstar and wanted to be part of his life. Several lies have been said about Diamond giving his deadbeat father a cold shoulder but the singer has now addressed the issue.

I still help him

Diamond spoke about his relationship with his father while addressing journalists outside a Dar es Salaam court where he had a case with Hamisa Mobetto about their son’s upkeep.

The Tanzanian crooner says he assists his father where possible. He further reveals that he has no close relationship with his father because of his absence in his life.

“Babangu tunawasiliana naye…Upande wa kumsaidia namsaidia ikiwa sina uwezo pia sina uwezo. Lakini bahati mbaya hatuku bahatika kuwa na ukaribu kama nilivyo na mamangu. Hatujazoena hivyo, kwa pengine watu kuniona siko na yeye katika hadara wanaona kama Diamond ana vita na babake,” said Diamond Platnumz.
