On April 23, 2020, Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz was spotted going shopping with his new signee Zuchu, bodyguard, and crew, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Although they initially wore masks, they later posed for photos without them, sparking criticism from fans.
As someone who has been vocal about social distancing and protecting oneself from COVID-19, Diamond's actions were seen as hypocritical by many.
His manager, Sallam Mendez, had recently recovered from COVID-19 after testing negative twice, and Diamond and his WCB crew had undergone self-quarantine as a precaution.
However, fans in the comment section reminded Diamond about the importance of social distancing, with some even calling him out for not practicing what he preaches.
As one fan pointed out, 'The boss no social distance oo.'
