Diamond Platnumz Insulted by Tanzanian Women ¶
Published on September 26, 2019
Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz has been criticized by women in his home country for advising them to stay with one man.
Platnumz made the statement in a video posted to his social media, where he said that men prefer hard-to-get women, whom they consider attractive.
He stated, 'Kwanza hajapitiwa na watu wengi, tunapenda mwanamke anayeringa. Mwanamke akiwa cha wote sisi hatuwezi kwenda. Ina maana Heshima ya kwanza na sifa ya kwanza ya mwanamke ni kuringa. Nategemea dada zangu mnapotoka hapa mkaringe sana. The more unavyoringa ndio vile mwanamume anazidi kuchanganyikiwa.'
However, his advice was met with backlash from Tanzanian women, who accused him of being a philanderer and not practicing what he preaches.
Platnumz has been known for his numerous high-profile relationships and has been accused of being unfaithful to his partners.
His statement has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many women expressing their disappointment and anger at his advice.
Reactions to the statement have been mixed, with some people expressing their support for Platnumz's views, while others have criticized him for being hypocritical.
