Ezekiel Mutua: Diamond is very much welcomed to perform in Kenya 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Moral cop Ezekiel Mutua has no problem with Diamond Platnumz and Rayvanny performing in Kenya despite their ban in Tanzania.

Mutua, speaking in a phone interview, said that Diamond might have angered Tanzanian authorities with his song “Mwnaza” but in Kenya, he hasn’t done anything and so he can perform.

“We are Kenyans, we are not Tanzanians but they have been banned to perform outside Tanzania so it is purely their decision. Have seen the board has written their statement, they have banned them from performing even outside Tanzania. Their statement says they will jail them for life if they fail to follow the order. I don’t think I have anything to say, we are not Tanzanians and they’ve been banned by Tanzanian government, if they perform its their own business, I cannot arrest them because they have been banned in Tanzania , I can only arrest them with the laws of Kenya. ” Mutua said. 

No offense

Mutua added that in case Diamond commits any offense while in the country, he’ll definitely get arrested.

”There is no issue, it is not me it is them But if they come here and commit crime in the event, we will deal with them with Kenyan law. It is not really our decision, we have nothing to do with it, whether they come or not, we are not involved in any way and can not stopped them from coming because of Tanzania. We can only ban them because of our laws here.” he added.

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

There has been a lot going on between Wasafi records and Clouds Media house. From what we have learnt is that the singer got his fame thanks to the support he got from Clouds FM and TV.

This come a few weeks after Mose Iyobo who is Diamond Platnumz lead dancer beat up two of Clouds presenters. Word has it that for this reason, Clouds is now out to bring Wasafi records down.

The truth about Diamond Karanga

So apparently Diamond Karanga has been in the market for years now but not many were aware. The Diamond peanuts only got famous after Diamond Platnumz was given the role of the brand ambassador to popularize them.

Diamond Karanga is therefore not owned by Diamond Platnumz but by Mr Ramida Clouds who is the owner of Clouds Media.

This only proves that Diamond Platnumz might just be facing his downfall if things between him and Clouds Media continue this way.
