On Father's Day, Diamond Platnumz received a heartfelt message from Ugandan businesswoman Zari Hassan, the mother of his two children, Tiffah and Nillan. Zari took to her Instagram Stories to appreciate Diamond, writing, "Happy Father's Day baba watoto...praying for many more years for you and your kids together."
However, Diamond's family life is more complex than that. He also has children with Tanzania's Hamisa Mobetto and Kenya's Tanasha Donna. In an interview on Wasafi FM, Diamond disclosed that he was recently informed of two other older children who, according to his mother Sanura Kassim, are likely his.
"Kusema ukweli inawezekana niko na watoto sita. Kwa sababu mtoto mmoja Mwanza ambaye of course mamake hakuwa hajaniambia. Mimi nilikuwa nafikiria Latiffa ndio mtoto wangu wa kwanza lakini nimejua niko na mtoto mwingine wa kike pia. Mama amemuona akasema daah! Mwanangu huyu ni mwanao. Mimi bado sijamuona," said Diamond.
Platnumz explained that he also has an older girl than Tiffah who he has not been unable to meet because her mother is in a serious relationship and fears jeopardizing it by introducing her to him.
