A list circulating online claimed several Tanzanian celebrities, including Wema Sepetu, TID, and Diamond Platnumz, were involved in drug trafficking.
The news caused a stir on the internet and among advertisers. According to Sallam K, Diamond Platnumz's manager, major brands like Vodacom began questioning their association with the star.
Luckily for Diamond Platnumz, he was not actually on the list. His manager suggested the rumors were an attempt to tarnish his reputation.
If the allegations were true, Diamond Platnumz could have faced significant financial losses and damage to his fan base.
Zari, Diamond Platnumz's partner at the time, might have also been affected by the situation, raising questions about whether she would have stayed with him if he had lost his income and reputation.
