Diamond Platnumz and his baby mamas

In the entertainment industry, the more people talk about you, the more relevant you are. This translates into riches in terms of music sales, events, and of course working with brands to sell their products. Diamond knows this very well.

That is why he loves controversy and being talked about. Just the other day, he publicly declared his love for Zuchu. This came as a hint to the thing they have ongoing, but many have dismissed it as a publicity stunt. Despite the fact that Zuchu also appreciated the love, it could just be a way to get her followers.

That being said, Diamond has many baby mamas for the same reason; to get as many people as possible talking about him, across different countries. Why are we saying this? Because in a recent radio interview, the “Cheche” crooner opened up about his take on industry beef.

Simba said those beef help artists to grow, as long as they do not get personal and involve families.

“Ukitaka sanaa yetu ikuwe lazima tuwe na wivu, lazima tuwe na hizi vitu lakini kwa njia ya kuachana la sivyo watu wata-relax. Watu wasichukulie personal and kuingiza mambo ya familia. Watu washindane kwa vitu kama creativity. Of course watu wataingiza maneno yao lakini bora mjue target yenu,” Diamond said.

The crooner clearly loves controversy. That’s one of the main reasons why he dates, gets babies and moves on. The other reason is he’s clearly rich and makes billions. Many people joke that he can afford to make a billion babies.

Here is a list of Diamond’s known baby mamas

Wema Sepetu

She will probably go down in history as the woman whose relationship with diamond Platnumz lasted the longest.

The exact date on which their courtship started is not known but they are said to have dated for a minimum of 5 years by the time they were separating in 2014.

Towards the end of their relationship, they kept taking breaks and were on and off before they finally decided to call it quits.

Wema had already met Diamond’s mother and they were on good terms, in fact, his mother loved her more because of the manner in which she put up with her son even when it was rumored that he had cheated on him with her best friend.

Zari Hassan

Like other the others, and a common factor in Diamond’s breakups, this one also ended due to claims of infidelity on Diamond’s side.

Zari whose relationship with the Bongo star only became known after the star came out to publicly announce their thing when zari was pregnant.

The two lasted close to four years and had a child together and that was before zari found out that the Number 1 heat maker had an affair with Hamisa Mobeto, a vixen from one of Diamonds Shoots, and had conceived a child together.

She ended things while still in South Africa, Zari who was older than diamond already had children from her previous relationships.

Diamond did not waste time after his separation from Zari before he went to reignite things with his side chick Hamisa.

Everything looked well until she gave birth to her son Dylan, this was after three miscarriages. The aisle seemed like the next destination for her before vile rumors started moving around at the speed of light.

Word on the street was that Hamisa took to black magic to try and force Diamond’s hand in marriage, it is rumored that their breakup was fuelled by these allegations as they did not sit well with the Bongo star.

Tanasha Donna

Tanasha is a Kenyan Model and radio presenter who met diamond platinum at the Jomo Kenyatta international airport when he had come for a performance in the country, up to date, she is known to be the only Kenyan woman to date the Bongo star.

Her stint with the Bongo star was a short one as they quickly split up after a year over irreconcilable differences in ideas.

They had planned for a big wedding on valentines day of 2019, one which did not happen and it was quickly followed by a breakup the following month.

The two had a son together, called Naseeb, who Tanasha left with to Kenya almost immediately after their breakup.

Diamond Platnumz’s houses

Currently considered the richest musician in East Africa, and one of the most successful musicians in Africa, Nasibu Abdul Juma Issack, better known as Diamond Platnumz is the ultimate living proof that talent and consistency in the music industry pays off.

The gifted musician not only owns a private jet and a fleet of luxurious cars but he also owns several mansions in his home country Tanzania, neighbouring Kenya, Rwanda and South Africa.

Here are all the details and photos of Diamond Platnumz’s houses that proves that he is the “Simba” of East Africa.

Diamond Platnumz’s state house

One of Diamond Platnmuz’s house is a beautiful multi-million dollar mansion that has been dubbed as his State House.

The award-winning Bongo star took to social media in 2017 to showcase his luxurious statehouse which is located at the leafy suburbs of Mbezi Beach, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

During its building, the Bongo star gave progressive time-to-time updates from the time the house started being built to its completion.

In an Instagram post, Diamond posted a picture of a year ago during construction vs three weeks ago after its furnishing. He captioned it ‘My 10th house.’

The videos of the house tour are evidence of how expensive his house is. It has a Tsh70 million pure gold plated toilet and custom-made designer gypsum ceiling that is the view of him from his bed. It has a Jacuzzi, gym, basketball court, dance hall, bar counter, studio, swimming pool and a darts playing area.

Diamond did a heart house tour after artist Bebe Cool claimed Diamond’s small house could not compare to his two houses. In his compound was a fleet of eight commendable rides including a 2021 Rolls Royce Cullinan, SUVs, and two Land Cruiser V8s, among others.

The superstar is set to also buy a private jet to make his international travels easy. The house has several rooms including 6 Bedrooms, a Classic Kitchen Boardroom. The house is estimated to have cost him Ksh 40 Million.

A while back, Diamond shared several videos showing off his house in South Africa. He bought a house in Moreleta Park in Pretoria. The singer announced the acquisition of the house during his baby mama Zari Hassan’s birthday while they were still together.

The luxurious villa has a swimming pool, spacious dining room and living room. It features a Jacuzzi, balcony and a garage that parks two cars. Before the divorce with Zari, they used to stay in the mansion.

Zari lives in this house and has made it very clear that she is not moving out. The exact cost of Diamond Platnumz mansion in South Africa is unknown, but it is evidently expensive.

The news of Diamond Platnumz house in Kenya emerged online in 2017 after purchasing a mansion in Nairobi. There were speculations that he wanted to relocate to Kenya. He also went ahead and bought Tanasha Dona, his ex, another house in Kenya.

Diamond was also speculated to have bought another house in Rwanda. The rumours about Diamond Platnumz house in Rwanda started in 2018. This was after he went on social media asking his fans to help him to find a nice house in the country.

Diamond’s dad is living a poor life

Diamond Platnumz is one of the richest musicians in Africa. He has said before how he gets paid in billions by Apple Music and YouTube. But still his own father is living a meagre lifestyle, going by pictures which are making internet rounds.

Diamond’s dad Mzee Abdul Naseeb has given many a reason to talk after photos of him boarding a public service vehicle while carrying a huge sack went viral, igniting mixed reactions.

According to media reports, Diamond’s father has been hawking in the streets to make ends meet despite his son being a millionaire.

A year ago, the Waah hit singer agreed to meet his biological father after years being apart. He accused the old man of abandoning his family.

‘I have realized Diamond is not on the wrong. I am the one who slipped. I already made peace with his mum. I thereafter saw it wise to look for Diamond and ask for his forgiveness,’ Juma said during one of his visits to his son’s home.’

The two mended their relationship after being estranged for over 20 years. In 2019, a video surfaced of the old man being barred from using the dining room where Tanasha and Diamond were having breakfast.

It is not clear if Diamond threw his father out after that or not as he is seen to be homeless at the moment.

It could be that Diamond got tired of his father sharing family secrets to the public.

In February this year, Mzee Abdul had an interview where he narrated how even while dating Tanasha, his son is still in search for a perfect partner.

He said:

“He is looking for a good wife. he can marry, even now but end up separated. and then people will talk and say, ‘see he cannot even sustain a marriage! Unless he wants to add wife number two and three since it is allowed in Islam. I think he hasn’t found a woman that he is satisfied with or one that needs him enough. I believe God will bless him with the perfect wife,”

He added that he could not understand why his son had not settled down with Tanasha.

Diamond and his dad have not been on good terms though the cause of their rift is still unknown, even though his mother Sanura Kasimu has occasionally been speaking to Jumaa.

Diamond, who is a billionaire and very successful in his career, has not said anything about his dad’s situation.

Did Diamond Platnumz make Tanasha Donna famous?

Tanasha Donna is killing two beefs with one stone by thanking her ex-boyfriend and her biggest musical collaborator Diamond Platnumz for making her both rich and famous.

Tanasha showed her appreciation to the father of her child on Instagram.

The appreciation is for their song Gere which was ranked as one of the most viewed songs by YouTube. The singer thanked her ex for believing in her and doing the collabo with her.

She posted:

“Huge thanks! Gere by myself & Baba @naseeb.junior made it to Most viewed African songs on Youtube 2020. Grateful to @diamondplatnumz for believing in me & collaborating with me on such a big tune & to the supporters who’ve supported me & continue to believe in me so far. Cheers to a greater 2021 Inshallah. The dream continues…. 🧚🏽‍♀️❤️”

Diamond replied to the post saying;

“NJ’s MoMy!!! 🔥⛽🚬”

He later on deleted the response after fans begun speculating on what the meaning of the response was. For others it was just a simple praise but other fans thought of it as a way of the two missing each other.

At the beginning of last year, the two made headlines when they announced they had broken up. Tanasha said the main issue was that Diamond lost interest in the relationship.

“For the past six months, we were still trying to see how we could make things work and then it got to a point where you feel like the other person has just lost interest and it’s not because of anything emotional i would say is not living up to certain expectations he had in the relationship. It’s nobody’s fault.”

The two have since patched things up but only as parents and friends. They have a co-parenting system that works for them and maintain respect towards one another.

After breaking-up, Tanasha came back to Kenya with their son. Their song put her in the limelight and she has been un-stoppable since then.

How much does Diamond earn from YouTube and iTunes?

Diamond Platnumz is one of Africa’s richest musicians going by the big numbers he revealed to his Wasafi radio station. The Waah! hitmaker is laughing all the way to the bank thanks to music streaming and downloads on iTunes and YouTube.

He is not just making money in millions, but billions! Now you know that when the “African Beauty” singer takes to social media to flaunt his wealth, it’s because he’s got it. He doesn’t fake riches as most other musicians do.

In a recent interview with his very own Wasafi FM, the entertainer first revealed his true source of music. Interestingly, most people think that YouTube is what pays Diamond the most. He may have been the first African artist to hit 4 billion views on YouTube, but that’s not his real source of money.

“There is money in streaming music. There are many platforms but Apple Music is the one that has a bigger payout,” he said.

This may be a shocker to many who always feel that his events pay the most. However, during COVID-19, the singer has still dropped new music, while his Kenyan counterparts complained about the lockdown. Talk about being a smart businessman!

“It is not true. Let me give you an example from my videos, from my estimation if you get one million views you don’t get Tsh 1m or Tsh 600,000. however, when it comes to iTunes a million downloads yields about Tsh 2.5b,” he added.

When you convert the money using current rates, it is almost 120 million Tanzanian shillings! It is not hard for Simba to hit that amount of downloads. He is one of the most successful musicians in East Africa. Whether within a few months or a few years, this shows the big amount of money that Diamond makes.

“I would like to urge our fans to stream music and download from iTunes because it builds us the artistes. This is the same business model the likes of Drake use to buy planes,” he added.

Personal Life

He is probably on your playlist, on your highly recommended list on YouTube, or on a popular news blog, making headlines that he’s been seen on a couple of dates with a popular model, siren, socialite and that she’s now pregnant for him… Does this ring a bell?

“Simba”, “Chibu Dangote”, “Father of Nations” are just a few nicknames given to potentially East Africa’s greatest musical talent, Naseeb Abdul Juma Issack, Diamond Platnumz real name. Popularly known as Diamond, he was born on October 2, 1989, in Tandale, Dar Es Salaam to his mother Sanura Kasimu and father mzee Abdul Juma.

This multi-talented artist and businessman was raised in Kigoma, Tanzania. He lived at his grаnd mоthеr’ѕ hоuѕе where he was brought up by hіѕ mоthеr. The three shared a single room as they were forced to rent out the remaining two to make ends meet. Diamond’ѕ biological fаthеr wаѕ out of thе рісturе due to unrеѕоlvеd dоmеѕtіс соnflісtѕ with his mother.

Diamond has two siblings; entrepreneur cum socialite Esma Platnumz and musician Queen Darleen. He is also the cousin to Romeo Abdul Jones, professionally known as Romy Jones, a well-known Tanzanian socialite.

Diamond is 33 years old as of 2023. He was born on 2nd October 1989 in Tandale, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Schooling

Diamond Platnumz attended Chakula Bora Nursery School in 1995. He then proceeded to Tandale Magharibi Primary School in 1996, through to 2002, when he completed his primary education. He joined secondary school in 2002 and graduated in 2006. In 2014. He was awarded an Honorary Degree by the University of Dar es Salaam for his work promoting Tanzania’s culture.

Diamond Platnumz family

Diamond’s parents are Abdul Juma and Mama Dangote.

The singer has three sisters i.e. Esma Platnumz, Romeo Abdul Jones, and Queen Darleen, and one brother, Romeo Abdul Jones.

Career

Diamond Platnumz’s narrative sits amongst the list of the classic rags to riches stories of the music industry. He had quite a humble upbringing. As is the case in many African homes, education is always seen as the catalyst to better life outcomes. With that in mind, his family members couldn’t understand why he concentrated on making music. They wanted him to focus on furthering his studies instead and get the normal 9-5 job.

But, if there’s anything we have learned about Diamond is that he goes for what he desires. And much to the disappointment of his family, Diamond focused more on making inroads in his career. He took part in talent shows and competitions and post his secondary education, he performed for different local and international artists. His mother came under harsh criticism from family members for supporting her son’s music career.

Back in 2007, life was tough. Diamond struggled to raise funds to pay for a single studio session. Consequently, he resorted to doing casual jobs. He sold second-hand garments, worked as a filling attendant and even did freelance photography to make some money that would help him get his music career off the ground.

It seems like Diamond was more than ready to do anything for his music. At one time, he was involved in illegal gambling just to make extra cash to afford him some studio time. The star is also said to have stolen and sold his mother’s golden ring secretly. The proceeds from that went to record his first single.

Things weren’t plain sailing for the star. As a result, he lost friends, his then-girlfriend left him as he wasn’t able to cater for her needs. Wonder what she’s thinking now.

Rise to stardom 

They say tough times don’t last, tough people, do. And luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Not to get all too philosophical here but Diamond will probably agree.

In 2009, Diamond Platnumz met Msafiri Peter aka Papaa Misifa who agreed to provide financial support in nurturing his talent. He went on to record “ Kamwambie” which was an ode to his girlfriend who left him when he had nothing. The track was an instant success, giving Diamond Platnumz the much-needed morale he needed to continue with his music career as well as opening the right doors for him.

In 2010, Diamond Platnumz released his first debut album titled, “Kamwambie”. It included many singles including “Kamwambie”, “Nakupa Moyo Wangu”, “I Hate You”, and “Si Uko Tayari”. Two years later, Diamond Platnumz released his sophomore album, “Lala Salama” which included the singles “Chanda Chema”, “Nimpende Nani”, “Gongo La Mboto”, and “Lala Salama”. It is also during this period that he openly endorsed Tanzania’s dominant ruling party, the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) and its presidential candidate, Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete.

In 2014, Diamond Platnumz became one of the most decorated Tanzanian superstars. He bagged seven accolades during the Tanzania Music Awards – Best Male Writer, Best Song Writer, Best Male Artist and the Best Male Entertainer of the Year.

During his career, Diamond Platnumz also released many other singles like “The One”, “Baba Lao”, “Ongeza”, “Sound”, and “Jeje”. The most standout album that gave him worldwide acclaim is “A Boy From Tandale” which was released in March 2018.

Songs

Diamond has without a doubt produced some of the best songs in recent years. One of Diamond’s new songs is titled “Naanzaje”. The song was released on September 5 2021 and currently has over 14 million views on YouTube.

Some of the most popular Diamond Platnumz songs include ‘Kamata’, ‘Shusha’, ‘Haunisumbui’, IYO featuring Focalistic Mapara A Jazz & Ntosh Gazz, ‘Waah!’ featuring Kofi Olomide, Kamwambie Mitarejea feat. Hawa

Business Empire

After being successful in the music industry, Diamond Platnumz created a Music Label and media company that has grown tremendously over the years. He is the founder and CEO of WCB WASAFI artist record label company. WCB Wasafi, short form for Wasafi Classic Baby is one of the most successful record labels in Africa. The label boasts of a talented artist line-up with the likes of Harmonize, Rayvanny, Zuchu, Mbosso and Queen Darleen.

WCB Wasafi records has almost single-handedly taken over the music industry in East and Central Africa with their massive success in these regions and beyond. This may be attributed to the level of professionalism at the label. The over 35 employees all have different job descriptions from photographers, music producers, artist managers to dancers. They all work together towards the success of the artists under the label, much like Diamond Platnumz’s career is handled.

Diamond Platnumz ex- Girlfriends and relationship life

Diamond Platnumz is currently dating Zuchu, a successful musician signed under his record label. Before this, there were rumours going round that Diamondwas dating Zuchu. In fact, it was alleged that they had wedded secretly, but in a recent interview with BBC, Diamond said he is not married and he will not be doing it soon. His reason was that marriage distracts one from advancing their music career.

Sometimes Diamond is referred to as Father Abraham to symbolize the biblical Abraham who had many sons. Diamong Platnumz has dated many ladies and has had children with most of them. Some of his ex- girlfriends are Wema Sepetu, Jokate Mwegelo, Jacqueline Wolper, Tunda Sebastian, Zari Hassan, Hamissa Mobetto and Tanasha Donna Oketch.

Diamond Platnumz and Tanasha Donna dated for slightly over a year, and they were blessed with a son. Their were rumours of wedding but the two broke up. Tanasha Donna said that she dumped her son’s father because he was narcissistic, selfish and is a control freak. Diamond’s family wanted Tanasha to convert to Islam, which Tanasha was reluctant to do.

Although Diamond Platnumz and Wema Sepetu  broke up many years ago, there have been unfounded rumours that the two started seeing each other under the radar. Fans want Wema Sepetu and Diamond’s to reunite because theirs was the first public relationship Diamond had.

Diamond has never been in a long-lasting and stable relationship or marriage: There is a reason why they call Diamond Platnumz “Simba” Swahili word for Lion. If his past relationships are anything to go by, the singer deserves nothing short of a biopic because they go on and on, and on…

Over the years, Diamond Platnumz has been involved in several relationships (both public and private) with several women, from different walks of life, skin colour and nationalities, each not lacking its own fair share of drama.

The first and longest-standing relationship in Diamond Platnumz’s life has to be with one, Wema Sepetu, a Tanzanian actress and former beauty contestant who won the Miss World beauty pageant in 2006. The pair ended their five-year relationship in 2014 after numerous cheating allegations involving Diamond.

Shortly after they called it quits, Diamond Platnumz and Zari Hassan, a Ugandan socialite, musician and businesswoman, were spotted together. Both denied rumours that they were romantically involved, and cited that they were only business counterparts. Later that year, the pair were seen holding hands when they showed up at the South African Channel O Awards together. Zari Hassan was already a mother of three from her previous relationship when she sired her firstborn with Diamond Platnumz, a girl, Latiiffah Dangote then later a boy, Prince Nillan Dangote.

Infidelity issues continued to plague the singer. His relationship with Zari fell apart after Diamond allegedly had an affair with one of his video vixen, Hamisa Mobetto. He had his third child with Mobetto, Dylan Abdul Naseeb. Zari later moved to South Africa from their Tanzanian home where she manages the businesses of her late husband.

In 2019, Diamond Platnumz met Tanasha Donna, a Kenyan singer, radio presenter and model at a Wasafi Tour festival. The rest, as they say, is history. The pair shortly welcomed Diamond Platnumz’ fourth son, Naseeb junior, named after Diamond.

Other lesser-known personalities who have been involved in a love-bender with the artist include, actress Auntie Ezekiel, socialite Tunda Sebastian and former media personality turned politician Jokate Mwegelo.

Diamond Platnumz children

Diamond is commonly nicknamed ‘Father Abraham’ that is ‘father of many nations’ because of his habit of impregnating and then breaking up with different ladies from different countries. So far, he has a total of 4 known children, that is 2 children with his Ugandan/ South African ex- girlfriend Zari Hassan (Latifa, a daughter and Dillan, a son), a son (Nillan) with Tanzanian beauty Hamissa Mobetto and a son (Naseeb Junior) with his recent Kenyan- Italian ex- girlfriend Tanasha Donna Oketch. Diamond Platnumz is currently a father to four children, namely Latifah Dangote, Dillan Dangote, Dylan Abdul Naseeb and Naseeb junior. Diamond Platnumz kids have three different mothers.

It is estimated that he is more than $10 Million.  Much of his wealth is from sold out shows, sale of his albums and brand endorsements. He is currently the brand ambassador of Coral paints and Pepsi soft drinks.

Diamond does not shy from showcasing his material possessions to fans. He owns homes and several cars. Just recently, he acquired a private jet because he makes numerous trips around the world. He said he will only keep upgrading what he owns so that he can be respected. Asked why he bought a private jet, he said that it will cut his flight expenses considering the number of people he has to travel with.
