Do Diamond Platnumz and his wifey Tanasha Donna use black magic/ doomba/ juju/ voodoo/ charms to protect their son Naseeb Jnr from his enemies? That is the discussion point in Tanzania as we speak after a photo surfaced of a bracelet many believe was given to them to ward off evil magic from their son.
Diamond wouldnae be the first East African celebrity to be associated with juju either. Back in the day Chameleon was accused of using juju to get his music career going and to sustain it too:
Jose Chameleone Accused Of Using Witchcraft To Achieve Success
And Ommy Dimpoz in the past also came out to suggest that Diamond Platnumz success comes from the use of witchdoctirs services after saying that diamond himself took him to one:
Shocking!!! Ommy Dimpoz Confesses Of Being Taken To A Witchdoctor By Diamond Platnumz
So it really should come as no surprise that when photos surfaced of Diamond and Tanasha’s son wearing a small black bracelet, Tanzanians started going on about witchcraft.
And as can be expected, fans asked after the black bracelet. The snowball effect held true after a fan identified as Ancilaassenga posed:
Mshafunga dawa Mungu mbona ndo kila kitu, calendar imewaacha nyuma sana bado mpo hukoo. (You have already introduced this young one to such beliefs yet God is the only answer, you are still living in the old days)
Before Sanura, Diamond’s mother savagely answered her saying:
Ndio zetu watandale (That is our culture)
But that only worked to draw the ire of Diamond’s fans who went on to post the following messages:
