July 23, 2019, marked a significant day for Diamond Platnumz as he shared his story of reckless behavior and the importance of safe sex at Musoma Utalii College in Tabora.
As an advocate for safe sex, Diamond Platnumz has been working with Wasafi Classic Baby (WCB) and Tume ya Kudhibiti Ukimwi Tanzania (TACAIDS) to promote awareness about the risks of unprotected sex.
Speaking to students, Diamond Platnumz reflected on his past, stating, "If I must be honest, I played around. I played a lot, but was lucky enough to escape without any consequences."
He emphasized the importance of being responsible and taking care of one's health, saying, "Mimi niliparamia mambo Mungu akaninusuru sana, niliparamia kweli kweli. Lakini nikapenya kwenye tundu la sindano na sitaki kurudi kule nilitoka kabisa. Nawaelimisha nyinyi na najielimisha na nafsi yangu. Kama nimeamua kutulia na Tanasha na basi ikawa hivyo,"
Diamond Platnumz also noted that this is the right time for him to set a good example to young people, saying, "I am at the opportune time. I have always wanted to impact lives by using my talent to reach out to my fellow youth. It is not me dishing out advice, it also about me adding knowledge,"
