Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz is addressing recent speculation linking him to the ongoing sex scandal involving American hip hop icon Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In a candid interview with Wasafi TV, the Bongo Flava sensation confirmed that he is aware of the online chatter but chose to refrain from commenting on Diddy’s legal troubles.
Diamond expressed immense respect for the 54-year-old rapper and emphasized the disparity between his online persona and real life.
“Mimi ni mtu ambaye huongelewa kwa maneno na kwa vitu tofauti… Maisha yangu mtandaoni, kwenye sanaa na kiuhalisia ni vitu tofauti sana. (People talk a lot about me on a wide range of things. My life online and as an artist is different from my actual life as a person.)” He affirmed that he will not engage with rumors and will remain focused on his own career.
In a measured tone, Diamond made it clear that he will not pass judgment on Diddy, noting, “Sitajifanya mchambuzi katika tukio lake kwa maana sijafanya sheria. (I won’t pretend to be a commentator on his situation because I haven’t studied law.)”
He emphasized his belief in the judicial system, stating that until a verdict is reached, he cannot make any personal conclusions about the allegations against Diddy.
Having previously attended one of Diddy’s infamous parties back in July 2020, Diamond acknowledged the controversy but maintained that he is on solid ground in his career and won’t be swayed by negativity.
“Mimi ni miongoni mwa sananii komavu na shupavu. (I’m among the mature and resilient artists.)” He further stated, “You can write and say whatever you want, but I won’t respond, I’m not bothered, and I won’t be shaken.”
As the saga surrounding Diddy continues to unfold, Diamond Platnumz’s respectful and level-headed approach to the situation stands out, signaling his focus on his artistry and personal values amidst the chaos of public discourse. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
