‘They were white gold and diamonds. I had bought them in America for Ksh 1.8 million’ Diamond speaks after losing chains

Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz is not worried after losing his expensive chains during the weekend while promoting Wasafi Festival which has  officially kicked off.

Diamond was performing at a place called Mtwara in Tanzania and was mobbed with thousands of people and in the process, someone managed to walk away with his chains.

The chains, which were made from pure white gold and diamonds, costs the singer a clean 1.8 million Kenyan shillings.

Underestimated the thief

The singer told a Tanzanian based radio station that he hadn’t thought that his jewellery would loosen so he wasn’t afraid that someone might jack them.

“Zile ni white gold na diamond nilinunua marekani sikumbuki lakini hazishuki millioni arubanne.nilijua haziwezi kung’oka, alivyotokea mtu ghafla akazipull nikapatwa na shock.” he said. 

Diamond, however, wasn’t really sad or angry that they were stolen. In fact, he said he’ll assume he gifted the thief.

“Lakini mwenyezi mungu ndio anapanga kila kitu na wakati mwingine labda mungu alitaka nitoe viwe sadaka na kwa support walonipa ina dhamani kubwa kuliko zile vitu na vinazo zingine kibao. Mi naona ni freshi tu kama baraka yake, zawadi yake.” he said.
