The story of Diamond Platinumz is unusual rags to riches punctuated with a harem of beautiful socialites, an overprotective single mother, missing-in-action dad and a much older Ugandan wife (cougar) Zari Hassan. The soft-spoken Naseeb Abdul Juma’s (his real name) rise to the top has not been an easy task.

From humble beginnings in Tandale area, Kindondoni in Dar-es-Salaam, Diamond sold mtumba and did casual work in 2007 to raise money to record his first single. However, he ended up gambling the cash. The mama’s boy was in distress as his career appeared to stall.
