Veteran Tanzania artist and reality TV star Diamond Platnumz, has finally broken his silence on the allegations doing rounds online following an old video of him speaking about his hang out with American music and business mogul P Diddy not only resurfacing but going viral as well.

The father of 4 acknowledged he knew what trolls were saying across socials and had decided to ignore it all. Maintaining he has mad respect towards Sean Diddy Combs when it comes to his musical prowess. 

"Mimi ni mtu ambaye huongelewa kwa maneno na kwa vitu tofauti... Maisha yangu mtandaoni, kwenye sanaa na kiuhalisia ni vitu tofauti sana. ...huwa sijibu comment za watu," started off the 'Komasava' crooner said during an interview with his media outlet, Wasafi. 

This translates to, "I'm someone who is talked about with words and in different ways... My life online, in art, and in reality are very different things...thus why I don't usually respond to people's comments."

He went on to beat his own chest, noting he was among the very best when it comes to artists in the musical industry hence he didn't really care what tales were spun about him. 

"Mimi ni miongoni mwa sananii komavu na shupavu. Wewe andika na sema chochote unachotaka lakini sikujibu, sikohoi na sitetereki. (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," the father of 4 added.

Finishing off Diamond maintained he respects P Diddy as a legendary artist and wouldn't be addressing any of the accusations launched against the 54-year-old father of 11 until a verdict is passed by the USA courts.

"Sitajifanya mchambuzi katika tukio lake kwa maana sijafanya sheria. Kwa ufupi, mpaka mahakama yaseme neno. Binafsi siwezi nikamhukumu lakini ninamheshimu kama mtu amvmbaye anajua vitu vingi mziki,"

"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," the Wasafi Media CEO added. 

Diddy is currently imprisoned being held without bail awaiting trial following human and sex trafficking, racketeering and violence charges at the jail’s Special Housing Unit at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre
