Tanzanian music star, Diamond Platnumz has finally addressed the online rumors circulating after an old video surfaced of him speaking about his interactions with American music mogul, Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The Bongo Flava star was quick to clarify his position, stating that while he holds Diddy in high regard, he will not engage in any discussions related to the legal challenges currently facing the 54-year-old American rap mogul.
During an interview on his Wasafi TV station, Diamond said “People talk a lot about me on a wide range of things. My life online and as an artiste is very different from my real life as a person. For that reason, I do not respond to online comments”
The Tanzanian artist went on to explain that he refrains from making judgments, particularly when it comes to legal matters that are beyond his expertise. “I won’t pretend to be a commentator on his situation because I haven’t studied law.”
“In short, until the court speaks on the matter, I personally cannot judge him, but I respect him as someone who knows a lot about music,” he added.

Sharing his views on and how he takes online criticizing, the Tanzanian pop star made it clear that he remains unshaken by negative comments or rumors about him. He emphasized that his focus is on his craft and his career, rather than the opinions of others.
“I’m among the mature and resilient artists. You can write and say whatever you want, but I won’t respond, I’m not bothered, and I won’t be shaken,” he stated firmly.
Sean Diddy Combs was arrested on September 16th following allegations of rape and physical abuse. His indictment revealed that state Homeland Security Investigations agents seized pills, baby oil, and lubricant used in Combs’ “freak offs” during March 25 raids on his properties.
Additionally, AR-15 firearms and large-capacity magazines were recovered. Over 90 smartphones, computers, cloud storage accounts, and storage devices were seized. Prosecutors have dozens of films of Combs’ “freak offs” that corroborate witness testimony.
Some of these “freak offs” lasted days, forcing participants to receive IV fluids due to exhaustion and drug use.
Combs is expected to appear in court on October 9.
