Critics were quick to claim that Diamond Platmumz’s new hit song ‘Hallelujah’ had fake views on YouTube, this after the song got a million views within 15 hours.
‘Hallelujah’ is currently the hottest video on YouTube trends in Kenya, the song is trending first and it is almost clocking 3 million views.
The song’s impressive success is giving critics sleepless nights, most detractors maintain that Diamond bought views for his new song.
Diamond’s manager Mkubwa fella has however dismissed this claims saying that Diamond’s huge fan base was the reason why his songs garner crazy views on YouTube. For starters, Diamond has three manager – Sallam SK “Mendez”, Babu Tale and Mkubwa Fella.
L-R: Babu Tale, Sallam SK “Mendez”, Diamond and Mkubwa Fella.
“Unajua ukimwona mtu ana watu sitini alafu leo leo views mia moja unaweza sema mtu kanunua views. Lakini mtu ana watu milioni tatu, hivi leo akiwa na views milioni moja unaonaje… Hizi simuliza za fasaha tuache,” Mkubwa Fella told Bongo5 in an interview.

The Tanzanian singer also revealed why other artistes have been unable to match his success in music. Diamond explained that East African music was experiencing stunted growth because artistes were hesitant to try new things in music.
Diamond stated that if artistes tried everything and anything then they are bound to succeed in penetrating the international music industry.
“Nyimbo hii ya #Hallelujah imenifunza kuwa uwoga wetu na kuto kujiamini ndio unatucheleweshea Mziki wetu Kuwa mkubwa Duniani… pia Umenifunza Ukithubutu kila kitu kinawezekana….Lakini pia Imenifunza kuwa wana Afrika Mashariki tuna nafasi nzuri ya kuweza kuvuma Duniani…. Imenifunza pia kuwa Hata Ukiimba Kingereza ila Nyimbo Ikiwa Nzuri Itapendwa na kuvuma kote Hadi Uswahilini……imenifunza pia kuwa Mwenyez Mungu hana Upendeleo ukijituma, Ukawa na nia nzuri na ukimuomba atakupa…. je wewe imekufunza nini?” Wrote Diamiond.

Diamond’s brother-in-law was quick to respond to the photos explaining that the pictures had nothing to do with his current life as he was now a married man.
Petitman blasted those circulating the photos saying that they had ulterior motive; he said people were trying to drag him into a scandal he’s not involved in any way.
Petitman and his wife Esma Platnumz
“Picha zinazosambaa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii ni za zamani sana. Hazina uhusiano wowote na maisha yangu ya sasa au na yale yanayoendelea kuhusu Hamisa ambaye anaonekana pia katika picha hizo kwa sasa. Yeyote ambaye ameamua kuzisambaza ana nia moja tu. Kuniunganisha katika suala ambalo sihusiki na kunichafua. Mimi kwa muda mrefu niko na mke wangu mpendwa ambaye kila mtu anamjua na tuko busy kujenga familia yetu.
Petitman and Hamisa Mobeto
“Inawezekana jambo hili haliwafurahishi baadhi ya watu hivyo kuamua kusambaza picha za zamani kwa nia zao ovu. Niseme tu kwa kifupi hizo picha sio za kutilia maanani. Ni picha za zamani sana. Kwa sasa sio muda wa kuchafuana. Huu ni muda wa kila mmoja wetu kupambana kujijenga na kulea familia yake. Mimi kama baba wa familia jukumu langu ndio hilo,” Petitman wrote on Instagram.
Diamond’s father Abdul Naseeb, who abandoned him while he was still a kid, has sent a plea to Zari Hassan after he met his son’s baby mama -Hamisa Mobeto.
Zari Hassan turned 38 on Friday September 22nd; Diamond used his wife’s birthday party to reconcile with her following the mishap with Hamisa Mobeto.
Diamond’s father Abdul Naseeb met Hamisa Mobeto before Diamond and Zari made up. The deadbeat dad was invited to attend 40 days party for Mobeto’s son.

Days after the party, Abdul Naseeb sent a plea to Zari begging her to allow him to meet his other grand children – Tiffah and Prince Nillan. (Diamond has not reconciled with his deadbeat father who only surfaced after he became a superstar and begged to be part of his life.)
Abdul Naseeb also begged Zari to forgive Diamond, he said that men are easily duped by other women;
“Mimi mwanzo nikiwa kama baba Diamond, ningependwa mwanzo Zari aniletee wajukuu zangu niwaone au anaweza kuniambia sehemu gani niende nikawaone. Halafu pili awe na moyo wa uvumilivu, mtoto wa kiume huwa mtu wa kudanganywa na mradi kashaambiwa kuna mke mwenzio basi hapo kikubwa ni kuwa na heshima na adabu. Zari kama Zari na Hamisa kama Hamisa waheshimiane wawe pamoja waangalie maisha. Zari asipende kuwasikiza waswahili akae angalie yake na Hamisa pia..” Adul Naseeb told Millard Ayo.
During his interview on Clouds FM on Tuesday September 19th, Diamond dared any woman who claims to have his kid(s) to step forth. He said this to assure the world that besides Hamisa Mobeto’s child, he was certain that he had no other bastards out there.
Well, a Burundian women surfaced to claim Diamond fathered her twins. Screenshots of Jesca’s (honey_jesca by her Instagram name) post have since gone viral on social media.
“Abo ni batoto ma pacha nilizalaka na @diamondplatnumz toka 2012 mupaka leo tulikutanaga nae wakati alikuyaka kwetu burundi kwa ajili ya kuimba ndipo alipo nionaga na kumtuma kija aitwae #mafya ila tokea hapo hajawai kunipatiya huduma yoyote mupaka leo nakama haamini nipo tayari tuende kuima DNA japokuwa kuko batu benye banazania miye natafuta kiki no no no but nipo serious kwa hili na ukweli haujifichi pls @diamondplatnumz nimelea toka mwanzo now nataka ubakamate na aba ba mapasa ubaleve nimechok,” Jesca captioned a photo of her twins which she claims were fathered by Diamond.
Udaku Tanzania talked to Jesca and she denied the screenshot doing rounds on social media, she clarified that her Instagram handle was @honey_asmah2 and not @honey_jesca.
“Sijazaa na Diamond mapacha wangu, Uongo mbaya, mimi nimeshangaa kuona watu wanaposti Habari za Uongo”! Jesca told Udaku Tanzania.
Zari Hassan and Hamisa Mobeto have renewed their fight just a few days after Diamond confessed on radio that he fathered a child out of wedlock.
Initially Mama Tiffah had opted to remain mum as Hamisa Mobeto was having her moment but a few days after Diamond’s confession Zari somehow was rejuvenated.
Zari sarcastically pitied Hamisa Mobeto after Diamond revealed that he had decided to pay her Tsh 200,000 or Kes 9,200 as monthly baby upkeep against Mobeto’s wish of Tsh 5 million.
Zari also warned Mobeto to stop following her kids on Instagram, Tiffah Dangote and Prince Nillan Dangote both have their own Instagram accounts.
“Laki 2, hehehe(laugh emoji).Stop following my kids lol. Your obsession needs a mental institution. Like the hell?” wrote Zari on Instagram.
Hamisa replied by posting a photo of a SUV (Diamond bought her a brand new Toyota Rav 4) and said that the tenant should start packing because the home owner was moving in.
American mix master and top producer DJ Khalid has sparked speculations after he followed Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz on Instagram.
DJ Khalid’s decision to follow Diamond could be largely due to the fact that the ‘Zilipendwa’ hit maker recently inked a deal with conic French wine brand Luc Belaire to be its ambassador.
Diamond Platnumz has revealed how Hamisa Mobeto was out to milk him dry even after he bought her brand new Toyota Rav 4 and paid all bills.
Speaking during an interview on Leo Sema show of Clouds FM, Diamond stated that Hamisa Mobeto was determined to ruin his marriage and exploit him financially.
Diamond said he was taking care of Mobeto during the entire pregnancy period even though he hadn’t accepted in public that Mobeto’s unborn baby was his. The ‘Zilipendwa’ hit maker also revealed that he informed Zari about impregnating Mobeto even before his son was born.
Hamisa Mobeto
“Zari akaniuliza hivi na hivi nkakuja nkamwambia baby kulitokea hichi na hichi na hichi mimi ni mwanadamu, vitu zinatokea. Nkamwambia fulani ana ujauzito wangu. Nkaongea naye na nkamwambia nlikosea. Tukasameana na yakaisha. Tukazungumza tu vizuri, hakua na shida, Zari hana noma kabisa,” Diamond stated.
The Tanzanian singer disclosed that he was giving Hamisa Mobeto Tsh 500,000 or Kes 23,000 a week during her pregnancy period. Diamond also stated that he bought her a new Toyota Rav 4 and gave her Tsh 7 million or Kes 322,676 to shop for baby stuff.
Diamond further disclosed that her baby mama didn’t not appreciate whatever he was doing for her because she kept on demanding for more.
He explained that Mobeto wanted to be paid Tsh 5 million or Kes 230,000 a month as baby upkeep. Diamond rejected Mobeto’s baby upkeep demand and even threatened to pay her about Tsh 75,000 or Kes 3,400 which is the standard monthly baby upkeep according to Tanzanian laws.
Diamond’s son with Hamisa Mobeto
“Unajua hapo katikati palipokua na mseke mseke mingi nkamlinki na mwanasheria nikaeka bei… (unajua serikali ina hela maalum ambayo unatakiwa ulipe kwa kila mwezi) nkamwekea basi mwenzangu hivi unaona vigumu basi fuata sheria. Akakataa eti kamtoa mwanasheria wake kamwambia mwanasheria wangu eti anataka nkue nampa milioni tano kila mwezi….hehehehe. Ehh bana tembea kwingi uone mengi dada,” said Diamond.
“Mtoto hawezi kutumia milioni tano, mtoto akitumia pesa mingi kwa mwezi labda laki hamsi laki sitini, mi nakuambia uhalali kabisa,” Diamond explained further.
Diamond offered Hamisa Mobeto Tsh 200,000 or Kes 9,200 as monthly baby upkeep. He said that he instructed his lawyer to deposit Tsh 200,000 to Mobeto’s account every month.
Diamond was said to be cheating on his wife Zari with both Hamisa Mobeto and Namibian entertainer Dillish Mathews. The ‘Zilipendwa’ hit maker confessed he fooled around with Mobeto but denied ever sleeping with Dillish.
Diamond was rumored to have shagged 2013 Big Brother Africa winner Dillish Mathews during his recent vacation in Zanzibar island. The two were in Zanzibar at the same time while Zari was away in South Africa with the kids leading to speculating that they involved romantically.
Speaking during an interview on Clouds FM on Tuesday September 19th, Diamond denied shagging Dillish Mathews as it was earlier thought.

The Tanzanian superstar explained that he was in Zanzibar for business for two days and that during his stay there he didn’t see Dillish or meet her there.
“Habari za kukutana na Dillish Zanzibar sio za kweli, mimi nilikuwa Zanzibar kwa kazi zangu binafsi na nilikaa siku mbili nikarudi Dar pekee yangu. Sijaonana na huyu dada na wala sikuwa nae. Huo ni uzushi na ndio maana nilikuwa kimya kwenye hili,” Diamond explained.
Zari has finally spoken after her cheating husband confessed to fathering Hamisa Mobeto’s son, initially Diamond denied being the father of Mobeto’s child even when everything indicated so.
Speaking during the interview on Clouds FM, Diamond owned up to being the father of Mobeto’s son, he apologized to Zari and assured her that he wouldn’t leave her for Mobeto.
Well, Zari is having none of Diamond’s apologies. The mother of five took to SnapChat to express her anger with her philandering husband.
“Haha u playing yourself..the lies u telling about me knowing about your side chick..try and fix your mess and stop with the lies..Me being quite doesn’t mean am stupid.Be very careful with your words,” Zari wrote in part.
She went on to threaten Diamond saying that she could sue him under defamation of character. The enraged Zari said that she hadn’t taken any legal action against Diamond merely because he’s the father of her kids.
“I may be the mother of your kids and that’s the reason am keeping the silence and respect. You might want to Google about ‘Defarmation of character law suit’ Don’t try me!!!”
Popular Tanzanian singer Matonya who is famous for his mega hit ‘Vaileti’, has blasted Diamond Platnumz whom he accuses of stealing from him.
Matonya put Diamond on the spot after the superstar featured all artistes under his Wasafi record label to drop a new song ‘Zilipendwa’ which has been trending since its release on August 25th.
The ‘Vaileti’ singer claims he has legal right over the name ‘Zilipendwa’ since he once dropped a song by the same title. He took to social media to rant about Diamond stealing from him and urged Tanzania’s music governing body – Baraza la Sanaa la Taifa(BASATA) to take action against Diamond.
“Nduguzangu wasafi / Nawapongeza sana kwa kazi mzuri mnazo zifanya / Nilifurahi Sana mlichokifanya kwa saida karoli dadaetu/ mlimuita mkamshirikisha akawapa Baraka zake/ kwangu mlishindwa nini? Sina shida Ya Pesa nina shida Ya heshima cose najua dunia ni mapito/ kama mimi naibiwa haki yangu vipi wasanii wachanga? Basata mkowapi? Wadau Wa muziki mkowapi? Usipo ziba ufa tajenga kuta!! Khaaa tena Bila woga???? lakini haki itafata mkondo wake,” Matonya wrote on Instagram.
Diamond Platnumz is set to officially exchange vows with Zari Hassan if the huge pricey gem on his baby mama’s finger is anything to go by.
The power celebrity couple has been shaken by Hamisa Mobeto’s shenanigans. The Tanzanian model-cum-video vixen sensationally claimed her son was fathered by Diamond, and she even went ahead and named her son after Diamond.
Hamisa’s malicious moves have sparked anxiety among Diamond’s fans as many people believe she is determined to ruin his marriage at all cost.
This is perhaps the reason why Diamond was quick to put a ring on Zari’s finger. Mama Tiffah was seen flaunting her expensive ring on social media with the caption reading ‘I love them huge…”
Diamond has taken a dig at his arch-nemesis Alikiba in a new diss track that also featured Rayvanny and Fid Q. Chibu made it clear that he was the don.
Diamond addressed his haters in new song ‘Fresh’ remix, he talks about being trolled for having big lips and the bitter rivalry with Alikiba.
In his verse, Diamond said he couldn’t be compared with Cinderella (Alikaba is sometimes referred as Cinderella thanks to his 2009 hit song ‘Cinderella’) because the comparison wasn’t ‘fresh’.
Below is Diamond’s verse in the song ‘Fresh’ remix:
There has always been bad blood between Diamond and Alikiba but interestingly the latter still keeps a photo of the former at his office at Wasafi headquarters.
Diamond disposed Alikiba as the king of Bongo and this sparked a bitter rivalry between them, no mediator has ever managed to broker a ceasefire even though many have tried to end the hostilities between them.
L-R: Alikiba, Diamond and Marlaw back then when Alikiba was still the don
But interestingly, Diamond keeps a photo of Alikiba close by at his office despite their bitter rivalry. The ‘Eneka’ hit maker told Clouds FM that he greatly values the input of musicians who have greatly contributed to the growth of Bongo music that’s why he hangs photos of all Bongo music legends (including Alikiba) on the wall at his office.
Willy Paul and Diamond at Wasafi office. Photos of several Bongo legends can be seen hanged on the wall behind them.
“Ile siyo ofisi ya Diamond, Rich Mavoko, Harmonize, siyo ofisi ya Tale, ni ofisi ya muziki wa Bongo Flava ambayo imeweka kuona ni kwa namna gani inaweza kuinua muziki wa Bongo Flava. Bongo Flava haikuletwa hapa tu pekee yangu na wana WCB lakini kuna wasanii tofauti tofauti wana mchango wao katika muziki wa Bongo Flava, so tumeweka baadhi ambao wanamchango, tulitamani tuweke wengine wengi lakini nafasi isingetosha, tumechagua wachache ambao wana mchango,” Diamond said.
Tanzanian actress Sabrina Omary popularly known as Sabby Angel admitted that no man including Ali Kiba has ever given her the satisfaction in bed. The reason why she’s salivating after Diamond because she heard Chibu Dangote is a bedroom bully.
“To be honest and sincere sijafaidi raha ya mapenzi mpaka huu umri niliofikia ..HAKUNA mwanaume aliyewahinifikisha Kileleni. Naamini bado sijaona raha ya mapenzi and am really hoping to get to experience that soon or later,” Sabby Angel was quoted by BongoSwaggz.
Sabby Angel
Ali Kiba and Sabby Angel secretly dated off camera, their clandestine affair was brought to light by Sabby in 2016 when she opened up and revealed that she was hurt by the Bongo superstar.
The actress is now salivating after Diamond Platnumz, she believes the flourishing singer is a good lover because of how he treats his woman.
“I personally think Diamond anajua mapenzi, sio kwa muonekano tu but kwa vitendo. How he treats his women is dreamy. I totally like Diamond Platnumz he is the perfect example of a real gentleman…plus rumor has it he is totally good in bed but I just heard.”
Sabby had issues with Zari sometimes in July last year, she took a jab at Diamond’s wife claiming she was more beautiful than her and that Zari was ‘lucky’ to be with Diamond.
Diamond Platnumz’s mother-in-law Halima Hassan passed on today morning July 20th at the hospital where she had been admitted for close to three weeks.
Zari’s mother has been in and out of hospital in the past month, Zari’s sister Ashutalal revealed that their mother was suffering from a heart disease when she was first admitted to hospital.
L to R: Sanura Sandra Kassim (Diamond’s mother), Zari, Diamond and Halima Hassan (Zari’s mother)
Diamond mourned the death of his mother-in-law on his post on social media, he only wished that her soul may rest in eternal peace.
“Mwenyez Mungu ailaze Roho yako Mahali Pema Peponi Amini….” Diamond wrote.
The Tanzanian superstar had earlier been trolled by fans for failing to visit his mother-in-law at the hospital when Zari broke news about her admission for the second time.
Diamond already owns a huge mansion in Dar es Salaam and a palatial residence in Johannesburg. And now he has a new apartment in Nairobi.
The ‘Eneka’ hit maker is arguably the richest musician in East Africa, he recently expanded his business empire to sell consumer goods.
Diamond’s financial might is demonstrated in the property he owns, he built himself a ‘state house’ in Dar es Salaam before buying palatial house in the leafy suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa.

The flamboyant Tanzanian singer has once again caused tongues to wag after he was seen showing off his new apartment in Nairobi.
“My apartment in Nairobi, call me Mr. Naseeb when am on these type of mission, not Diamond,” Baba Tiffah captioned a video which he showed the interior of his apartment in Nairobi.
Diamond Platnumz used a six-seat Italian-made helicopter during his tour of Rwanda. The Tanzanian singer is said to have bought the Kes 654 million chopper.
Section of Tanzanian news outlet reported that Diamond had bought a chopper for his recent tour which saw him perform in D.R Congo and Rwanda.
The rumors started when the singer was seen showing off the chopper on social media; he posed in front of the chopper with his manager Sallam Sharaff aka Mendez.
The truth is that Diamond didn’t buy the chopper; the ‘Fire’ hit maker and his crew arrived in Rwanda from Goma, Eastern D.R Congo on a Land Cruiser SUV. Diamond was the then airlifted from Rwanda/D.R Congo border in AgustaWestland A109S helicopter which is owned by Akagera Aviation – a Rwandan based aviation company headquartered in Kigali that provides helicopter services within Rwanda and neighbors in the East Africa community.
The AgustaWestland A109S Grand is a light six-seat twin-engine multi-purpose helicopter produced by the British-Italian manufacturer Agusta (today AgustaWestland). This helicopter type is mostly operated for passenger transport (executive also) and emergency medical service (EMS) by civil operators.
Watch the video below to see how Diamond entered Rwanda:
Diamond Platnumz was forcefully kissed and caressed on stage by a curvaceous female fan who could not control her feelings after watching the singer perform.
Rwanda Fiesta was lit, Diamond was the main act at the concert which went down two days ago in Kigali. Rwandese turned up in big number to get thrilled by the Tanzanian singer.
The most electrifying moment of Rwanda Fiesta came when Diamond was performing his hit song ‘Nasema Nawe’. The ‘Fire’ hit maker invited well-endowed ladies on stage to dance with him as he performed the song.
Randy fan seized the opportunity to have a few seconds of fun with Diamond after the singer had just completed his performance, the curvaceous female fan dashed towards Diamond on stage, locked her hands round his head and plastered deep kiss all over his face.
Diamond turned away his face in a bid to avoid exchanging saliva with the lady who was kissing and cuddling him lustfully.
Diamond dropped two songs two days ago. One of his new songs has been hit by controversy forcing the singer to take action to save face.
Baba Tiffah released two songs ‘I Miss You’ and ‘Fire’ featuring Tiwa Savage. The song he featured the Nigerian songbird has caused tongues to wag.
Critics were quick to dislike the song citing various reasons; first there is a scene on ‘Fire’ that resemblance Jason Derulo’s ‘Swalla’. The use of paint drooling video vixens as well as fur coat donning Tiwa resembles Nicki Minaj’s scenes in the Derulo hit song.
Jason Derulo’s ‘Swalla’Diamond’s ‘Fire’
Then there is a part in the song where Diamond praises the shape of his ex girlfriend Wema Sepetu. (Even though he also mentioned Zari.)
“Sura Zari nadhani (ayaya) shape Sepetu Wema (ayaya) Ooh, I say, you fire baby oh (Fire fire fire fire) baby…”
Detractors were quick to press the unlike button on Diamond’s song on YouTube prompting the singer to disable the button.
Popular Tanzanian video vixen Hamisa Mobeto who featured in Diamond’s hit song ‘Salome’, is heavily pregnant. And guess who is the father?
Hamisa Mobeto has long been rumored to be Diamond Platnumz’s concubine. And when it was discovered that she had been knocked up, guess who was the first person everyone suspected to be responsible? Of course Diamond.
Hamisa Mobeto and Diamond
The Tanzanian superstar revealed the truth about Mobeto’s pregnancy during an interview on Cloud FM yesterday June 21st. Diamond refuted claims he was the father of Mobeto’s unborn child, he explained that he had to distance himself from the video vixen ever since people started creating stories about the lass and him.
“Hizo zote ni za uongo, mama T pia anajua ni story ya uongo. Naskia kwamba ni mjamzito, sasa mjamzito pia watu wameunganisha hio story ikawa ni mimba yangu. Story zinazungumzwa mimi siwezi kufanya kitu chochote,” Diamond said.
The singer also opened up about his fight with Zari over the controversial swim spa photo which sparked separation rumors. Diamond caused a stir when he complained on Instagram after his wife was seen in a pool with Edwin Lutaaya who turned out to be Ivan Ssemwanga’s cousin.
In the interview with Clouds FM, Diamond explained that he found it hard to believe Zari wasn’t cheating on him with Edwin Lutaaya, but when his wife showed him other photos (which showed Lutaaya’s wife was also in the spa) he decided to delete the photo he posted on IG.
“Nlikua nimekusudia, unajua…upande mwingine mimi ni binadamu kama binadamu wa kawaida mimi pia nakua naskia uchungu na maumivu. Na katika mahusiano yangu yote nshakuwa nayo basi mahusiano ya Zari nimejitahidi kujitoa sana kwa kila hali na mali. So nlikutana na ile picha kwenye mtandao sikuelewa…mi kwanza nkajua ime editiwa. Ehh nkampigia simu nikamwambia “mbona kuna picha nimeiona hivi na hivi”. Akaniambia “bwana huyo ni shemeji wangu, hapo pia tulikua na wife wake lakini kutokana na kwasiko kwa maji inaonekana kama kanikumbatia lakini haikua hivyo”. Mi nikapanic nkaona kama huyu mchongo tu yani ni kama anajifanya, anajitetea. Nkamwambia “kwa hio mbona hujaiposti kwenye account yako imetokea kwa watu wengine tu, imekuaje?”. Nkamwambia “ulikua unataka boost, unataka kiki (controversy) au vipi kwasababu mimi ntakupa kiki ntakupost kabisa ili isambazike mtu aone dunia, si unataka kila mtu aone?” Kwa hivo nkaposti, kwa hivyo baada ya kuposti alikua ofisini akarudi haraka amekuja amepagawa ndo kaja na zile picha “ si unaona nlikua na huyu wife wake na nini na nini…na huyu wife wake ndo alinipiga picha kwa hivyo na hivi na hivi…. Baada ya kunionyesha ndo nkatoa ,” Diamond explained.
