• He said this when explaining to fans why he still uses hired private jets

Diamond Platnumz has disclosed that he was defrauded of a staggering Ksh 240,591, 200 million when he bought his own private aircraft.

In an effort to clarify to his admirers why he continues to fly in hired private jets rather than his own, as he had previously declared, he said this.

According to Diamond, he was duped by an agent who was assisting him in buying a private plane.

"I had brought a very big plane, but they conned me about Tsh 4 billion," he told Wasafi Media.

He went on to say that he had denounced the scammer and that the Tanzanian authorities was looking into the matter.

"The government knows, if you are conned that amount of money you would go crazy."

Diamond added that he has started being paid in installments.

"They have started paying. I expected the jet to land here in August last year but by the end of the year, it was not yet here. They disrespected me because they made me look like i had announced fake news."

In May 2022, he revealed his plans to purchase a private jet.

"We bought a 2021 Rolls Royce Black Bedge Zero killometre last Year, and we buying a Private Jet this Year!!! ✈ ... that’s the definition of having the best management!...
