Mzee Abdul, the father of Tanzanian music sensation and Wasafi CEO Diamond Platnumz, has once again ignited a firestorm of controversy on social media with his candid revelations.
In a recent interview with an online media outlet in Tanzania, Abdul expressed his heartache, declaring that his son has never extended a helping hand to him, despite his immense fame and fortune.
Despite being the father of one of Africa’s richest artists, Abdul lamented that he has never received even a simple gift from Diamond, not even a bicycle.
“I’m a father to a billionaire, yet I still find myself living a life of hardship,” Abdul shared, clearly pained by the disparity between his situation and that of his illustrious son.
He did not hold back in describing the contrasts between their lifestyles, pointing out that while Diamond splurges on grand gestures, like gifting cars to friends and even his bodyguards, he, on the other hand, is forced to rely on public transport.
“I see my son gifting cars to others, but I’m still taking public vehicles. It hurts to know he’s not concerned about my situation,” Abdul revealed.
Yet, despite the hurt, Mzee Abdul remains optimistic.
He holds on to the hope that one day, Diamond Platnumz will acknowledge him and come to lift him out of poverty.
“I believe that one day he will remember me,” he said with a mix of sadness and hope.
As the story unfolds, fans and followers are left questioning the complexities of family ties, success, and responsibility in the world of glamour.
Will Diamond eventually reach out to his father, or is this a rift that will continue to widen? The discussion is far from over, and the public is closely watching.
