Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz has revealed that he had warned Zari, a Ugandan socialite and also mother to his two children about his entertainer life style before they embarked on their love ‘project’. The singer, while being hosted on a Kenyan radio station, said that by the nature of his work, he receives a lot of attention from the opposite sex something that Zari failed to understand despite having warned her.
“Before entering into a relationship with any woman, I often seek her assurance on whether she accepts me and my job which involves being surrounded by women. I have been very patient in the entertainment industry because my work is about entertaining people. On each and every show I perform at women come onto me because I’ve gone to entertain them. Some are hired vixens or dancers that I have to dance with,” Diamond explained.

He says that he had impressed on Zari to be prepared seeing women throw themselves at him, especially during performances but his warning went unheeded when Zari often got jealous.
When questioned why the video vixens who feature in his music videos, like Hamisa Mobetto, end up in in his bedroom, Diamond quickly responded that it is just perception.
“When am shooting a video for a love song I of course have to include romantic scenes. If you see such scenes just bear with me because it is part of what I do. But people easily believe that am having affairs with these girls just because they are beautiful and flexible,” Diamond said.
