July 1, 2020, marked a significant day for Bongo singer Diamond Platnumz as he shared a video of Ugandan kids dancing to his latest hit, sparking a revelation about his Ugandan roots.
According to Diamond Platnumz, his father, Mzee Abdul, is actually from Uganda, not Tanzania as previously believed.
He proudly owned being Ugandan by mentioning his two children with Ugandan socialite, Zari Hassan, in the caption of the post.
Although Diamond Platnumz did not reveal much about his Ugandan heritage, the revelation has left fans surprised, especially since he rarely talks about his biological father.
It is worth noting that Diamond Platnumz's mother, Mama Dangote, has always been open about their past lives and how Mzee Naseeb left them in poverty, moving on with another woman.
Despite the challenges they faced, Diamond Platnumz has made it in life, and it remains to be seen whether he will ever have a good relationship with his father, who is said to have another family.
