"Truly we will receive him and we Zabron are ready to raise him spiritually. We welcome him because we love him very much," - Zabron Singers.

Diamond has become a big talk after being seen in church reading the Bible during Easter despite being a Muslim.

Gospel music group from Tanzania, Zabron Singers has announced that they are ready to accept Diamond Platnumz as a Christian if he converts from the Islamic religion.

The spokesperson of the group in an interview with Wasafi's radio station said that they will be very happy if the artist accepts Christianity and is baptized, saying that they are ready to receive him on the Sabbath.

"The good thing that I am very happy about is seeing Diamond reading the Bible. I was very happy and wished it was better for him to say that he has decided to become a Seventh-day Adventist, and to be baptized.

We will receive him and we Zabron are ready to raise him spiritually. We welcome him because we love him very much," the spokesperson said.

Diamond has become the talk of the internet after being seen in church quoting the Bible on Easter Sunday despite being a Muslim who is praying and fasting during this holy month of Ramadhan.

The artist had to delete a post on his Instagram that he uploaded a week ago as a poster announcing the big Easter event that brought him together with artists and pastors including Rose Muhando and Christina Shusho.

It is reported that Platnumz deleted the post after tens of Muslims arrived there and started leaving messages of "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un" an Islamic statement that translates to "Rest in Peace" in simple Kiswahili.

Diamond, in his speech at the Christian gathering, spoke modestly and also quoted some holy scriptures from the Bible, which seemed to upset the Muslims.

A sheik by the name of Shariff has asked Diamond to make a choice whether to remain in Islam and respect it or to change his religion and become a Christian because even God does not like a lukewarm person.

But others have defended the Bongo Flava star saying that their nation has no religion because at the end of the day, God is the same one whom all religions and denominations worship.
