May 15, 2020, marked a special day for Diamond Platnumz' family as his stepbrother turned one year old.
The young boy's mother, Shariffa, gave birth just a few weeks after Diamond's mother married Rally Jones, the boy's father.
Shariffa celebrated her son's birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on social media, saying, 'Happy 1st birthday my only son 🎂🍴u grow very fast so as u make me surprise 🤗always I pray for you and I really love u my little hansham boy😘😍.'
Tragically, the boy's father, Rally Jones, also known as Uncle Shamte, lost his father on the same day, and Shariffa paid tribute to him, revealing that their son was named after him.
Shariffa wrote, 'Hbd doctor wangu na pole sana kwa kuondokewa na wajina wako mzee shamte mungu amlaze mahali pema peponi amin🙏RIP MZEE SHAMTE 🙏.'
