Fresh details surrounding the latest paternity controversy of Bongo Star Diamond Platinumz have emerged. In the latest update, the singer’s grandmother, Mwanaisha Mrisho, has revealed that the Tanzanian star knew who his real father is. Speaking to Tanzania news outlet Bona TV, Diamond's grandmother said the singer knew his real dad. In the interview, Mrisho, the mother of Salim Idi N'yange (Diamond's real dad), said her son always told her he had an offspring somewhere, but the mother had 'given' him to another man.
She said she finally got to meet Diamond in 2002, when he paid a visit and he was the exact copy of his father. She added that she lived with Diamond for two to three years, way before he became a global star. Mrisho further claimed that she had graced events in the singer's life, specifically those that involved his children.
