The Salome hitmaker is in Nairobi for a mega performance and before the big day, he got to sit down with Larry Madowo for an interview on The Trend, where he talked about his family, lifestyle, and his children.
During the show, Diamond Platnumz also talked about the death of Zari’s baby daddy and ex-husband, Ivan Semwanga, who passed away after heart-related complications.
He revealed that he could not cancel the show, but revealed that he was going to fly to Uganda for Ivan’s burial after the show.
It’s been a tough week for our family and especially Zari but then I thought it would not be good to cancel my shows in Nairobi because this is something we had planned for a long time. But then, from here I will be headed to Uganda to pay my last respects to Ivan.
Away from that, Diamond also talked about his children and Zari revealing how they have changed his perspective on life, making him more focused and working harder.
When asked if he would want his children to pursue music in the future, he revealed that he would allow only his son, Prince Nilan to become an artiste, but not his daughter.
According to him, when a girl is exposed to such kind of limelight in music, she tends to get a lot of suitors because of the fame and beauty which means a lot of men will be on her case, something he would not be comfortable with at all.
Watamla sana. Mwanamke kama mwanamke, kweli anakuwa anatongozwa na watu tofauti tofauti. Lakini unapokuwa sasa ni msanii, watu wanakujua wanakuwa wengi, kwa hivyo kutongozwa kunakuwa kwingi, sasa da! Wataniuwa kwa pressure.
