Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz has finally dropped a solid hint that he’s planning to hold a wedding next month.

The popular singer, while speaking to the press during the launch of Wasafi Festival at Hyaat Regency hotel in Dar Es Salaam, hinted that he might walk down the aisle with Tanasha Donna on July 7.

A journalist wanted to know when Diamond is planning to marry Tanasha after they postponed their wedding early this year.

Diamond did not really say his wedding will be on July 7, but left strong hints that it might on that date.

“There will be only ten tables for reservation. Five will go for KSh 200,000 each and the remaining five will go for KSh 80,000 each. Guys should reserve those table because you all will remember on July 7,” he said. 

Promise

Kenyans angry after Diamond failed to perform because he was sick yet spotted ‘grinding on Tanasha’ at a club 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Tanzania’s Diamond and Nigeria’s Yemi Alade failed to appear at the Morgan Heritage Tomorrow’s Leaders Concert held at the Kasarani Stadium on Saturday.

Kenyans have been demanding answers after the two top artists failed to show up without any explanation.

Diamond, who had not updated anything about the show on his Instagram – after arriving in Nairobi on Friday – confirmed that he would not perform as he was “unwell” while Yemi pulled out because of unclear reasons.

According to Morgan Heritage, the two artists missed the show because of the weather which had a toll on them.

“Yes, the weather here is so funny and diamond has been on a very busy tour, his voice went out and Yemi got sick.” they said. 

Organisation

Pregnant Tanasha

That is however hard to believe because Diamond was allover Kenyan clubs partying with his bae Tanasha that night. The show was also marred with organisational conflicts and was doomed to be a flop from the word go.

About 3,800 people, among them Permanent Secretaries, MPs and UN officials had each paid up to Sh12,000 for the VVIP ticket but couldn’t enjoy the event since the VVIP section wasn’t even set up and it was raining.

‘No one has told me anything about any wedding, I have heard it from people in the hood. Above all, I only want the wedding to be successful. But I just want him to invite me, if he fails to do that he will have disrespected me a lot, I will not be happy.” Mzee Abdhul said.

“I had rumours about this thing but I just ignored it untill the baby was born and he was still denying. He was going on radio stations saying the father of this child should come out and he knew this was his child. I was like this girl is bringing out receipts, not only that but in my bed, our home, how are you gonna explain this?” said the socialite in an interview with  South Africa’s Phat Joe.

Betrayal

She went on to confess that she wanted the relationship to work despite the distance between them. She lamented that Diamond should have mentioned it to her when he cheated instead of acting all clueless.

Why Diamond Platnumz was temporarily blocked from leaving the country

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Singer Diamond Platnumz had to spend more hours at the airport than he had anticipated after he was temporarily blocked by the government of Tanzania from leaving the country.

According to Tanzania’s Baraza la Sanaa Taifa (BASATA) the singer was barred from leaving the country to Mayotte Island where he was scheduled to perform because they are enforcing a law that requires all artists who want to travel to perform outside their country to get special permits from BASATA.

New law

BASATA Chief Executive Godfrey Mngereza,in a statement, said:

Utaratibu wa msanii kuwa na kibali anapoenda nje, yaani kutambua wapi anaelekea kikazi si mpya. Upo katika kanuni toka awali. Lengo ni kumhakikisha ulinzi wa haki na usalama wake pale kutakapotokea suala lisilo rafiki. Pia, kumuaga kwa kukabidhi bendera na mapokezi pindi anaporudi ikibidi,” said Godfrey.

Diamond Platnumz, a person who the world believes hates fellow Tanzanian singer Alikiba, shared that the two have never been enemies and it’s just people talking and trying to start something between them.

“Fighting with Ali does not help me in any way and I don’t gain anything. It does not add or reduce anything so why would I do it,” said Diamond in a radio interview Times FM recently.

Media fueling hate

There might be no beef between the two but tension between their camps has always been crystal clear. Though the two have always tried downplaying it, the media has always followed the drama and capitalized on it fully.

Diamond said that the media has been trying to fuel hate between them which is wrong.

“We need to show young artistes that we got the chance and we used it well and not to create hate,” he said.

Diamond reveals how Hassan Joho advised him when he thought Zari was cheating on him

Posted on by Martin Oduor

A few weeks ago, Diamond and his wife had friction because of a photo which showed Zari and Ivan’s cousin having a nice time in a spa.

Diamond was convinced Zari was cheating on him with the guy but he later on revealed the whole situation was a big misunderstanding after Zari explained to him they were in the pool with several other people including the guy’s wife.

Well, after Diamond took to instagram to rant about the photo, he received calls from several people including Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho and Peter Okoye of P-Square.

In a recent interview on Clouds FM, Diamond revealed that both Joho and Peter Okoye urged him to resolve the conflict he had with Zari – they urged him not to end his relationship with Zari.

“Following that drama, I received phone calls from different people; including Peter Okoye of P-Square duo, who advised me for nearly 10 minutes. He told me: ‘Diamond Platnumz, I have a wife and regardless the reason for fall out, I would not do such a thing. It is not good. Women too make mistakes since they are humans.’ Different people from Tanzania phoned me, even (Mombasa Governor) Ali Joho called to urge me not to end the relationship,” Diamond said.
