On December 31, 2019, East Africa's major end-of-year celebrations took place in Kigoma, Tanzania, as Diamond marked his 10 years in the music industry.
The event was attended by his head of state, past rivals, and other notable figures.
However, the evening took an interesting turn when Diamond's mother, Mama Dangote, was called on stage to speak about her son's remarkable growth.
As she took the stage, fans were surprised to see her dressed casually in a blue pair of jeans and a black T-shirt.
But it was her outfit that seemed to be the least of the concerns, as her seemingly protruding belly caught the attention of many in the audience.
Photos of the event have sparked controversy, with many fans speculating that Diamond may be expecting a younger sibling, courtesy of his step-dad, Uncle Shamte.
