Tanzanian music superstar Diamond Platnumz is once again dominating entertainment headlines after his elder sister, Esma Platnumz, made a surprising revelation about the singer’s children.
Speaking during a recent interview with Wasafi FM, Esma dismissed years of speculation surrounding Diamond’s growing family, insisting that the Bongo Flava star is the biological father of only three children.
“Naseeb ana watoto watatu, na mimi nina watoto wawili mmoja bahati mbaya,” Esma claimed.
Her remarks have sparked heated debate across East Africa, with fans revisiting Diamond’s highly publicized relationships and questioning long-standing rumours about his family.
According to Esma, the singer has only three children whom she recognizes as her nieces and nephews.
She further urged the public to stop adding children to Diamond’s name whenever rumours emerge online.
Diamond, whose real name is Naseeb Abdul Juma Issack, has had several high-profile relationships over the years, including with Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan, Tanzanian model Hamisa Mobetto and Kenyan singer Tanasha Donna.
Publicly, he is known to have children from those relationships, although speculation has persisted for years over other alleged children.
Esma’s comments have reignited conversations on social media, with fans split between those supporting her clarification and those insisting only Diamond himself can settle the matter.
Esma Speaks Her Mind
Esma has never shied away from defending her younger brother whenever controversy surrounds him.
On Instagram, the businesswoman frequently shares messages celebrating family and gratitude.
One of her recent captions read:
“Alhamdulillah always.”
Her Instagram profile also describes her as a wife, businesswoman and proud mother, reflecting the family values she often promotes online.
Diamond’s Complicated Love Life
Diamond remains one of Africa’s most talked-about celebrities, not just because of his chart-topping music but also because of his colourful dating history.
The Wasafi boss has dated several famous women, including Zari Hassan, Hamisa Mobetto, Tanasha Donna and fellow Tanzanian singer Zuchu.
Each relationship has attracted enormous media attention, making his personal life almost as popular as his music career.
Despite the endless rumours, Diamond has largely focused on expanding his music empire through Wasafi Media and WCB Wasafi while maintaining his status as one of Africa’s biggest musicians.
Esma’s latest revelation has nevertheless added fresh fuel to the conversation, with thousands of fans debating whether her statement finally settles the long-running question about Diamond Platnumz’s children, or whether even more surprises could emerge in the future.
