December 18, 2019, marked a significant day for Diamond, the celebrated musician, as he took the media on a tour of his humble beginnings in the Tandale slum. The tour, which aimed to raise awareness about the need for better learning facilities, gave a glimpse into Diamond's life before he became a music giant.

Having grown up in a slum, Diamond's journey to stardom is a testament to his determination and hard work. Despite facing numerous challenges, he never lost sight of his dreams and worked tirelessly to achieve them.

During the tour, Diamond reminisced about his time at Tandale Primary School, where he had a tough English teacher who played a significant role in shaping his life. He also spoke about the dilapidated classrooms, including one with a massive pothole and another without a roof.

As part of his efforts to effect change, Diamond has been using his platform to raise awareness about the need for better learning facilities. His visit to Tandale Primary School was a step in this direction, and he hopes that it will inspire others to take action.

Before becoming a successful musician, Diamond had to work hard to make ends meet. He even sold water in his estate, which doubled as a hangout spot for him and his friends.
