On the night of her EP launch, Tanasha Donna's ex-boyfriend Diamond Platnumz was noticeably absent, sparking rumors and speculation. However, in a recent interview, Tanasha has finally shed light on the circumstances surrounding his absence.
According to Tanasha, Diamond's management had several issues that led to the artist's decision to leave the event before it even started. In her words, 'It was a lot to do with when business and love meet there's always issues... that's why they say don't mix business with pleasure because something always seems to go wrong somewhere.'
Tanasha went on to explain that Diamond needed to be paid in order to perform, and that there were several issues with the management regarding payment and other matters. She recalled, 'We flew everyone in from our own connections, our own pockets and then last minute, you know how events happen. I don’t know if you’ve ever worked in events but you know how sponsors will promise something and they don’t end up giving at the end of the day...'
Despite the challenges she faced, Tanasha was open and honest about the difficulties she encountered during the event, including the loss of several sponsors. She acknowledged, 'so things went a little South and as you know Diamond himself is not a cheap artiste; he is quite expensive, so, yeah, there was a whole back and forth with the management because of payment and a whole lot of stuff.'
