Published on July 22, 2019, Diamond Platnumz has become a household name in Tanzania and beyond, with his melodious voice and hit songs like 'Utanipenda' and 'Mbagala'.
At just 27 years old, Platnumz has achieved a level of influence among his fans, earning him the title of most loved Tanzanian artist at the moment.
However, Platnumz's personal life has been the subject of much scrutiny, including his marriage to Ugandan-South African socialite Zari Hassan, who is nine years his senior.
Platnumz has also been involved in several scandals, including a publicized breakup with former Miss Tanzania Wema Sepetu, whom he claimed was 'infertile.'
Despite these controversies, Platnumz continues to win awards and perform to sold-out crowds, including a recent tour in Zanzibar where he was twerked on by his lady fans.
