Tanzanian music superstar Diamond Platnumz has revealed that many of his most valuable assets, including his cars, houses and businesses, are registered under his mother Sandra Kassim’s name.
The singer made the revelation while celebrating his mother’s birthday, using the occasion to honour the woman he says has been his greatest source of support throughout his rise to fame.
Speaking to guests at the event, Diamond said everything he owns belongs to his mother, underscoring the deep bond they share.
“Changu ni chake,” Diamond said, meaning, “What is mine is hers.”
He explained that several of his properties and investments are legally registered in her name, describing the decision as a reflection of the trust, gratitude and appreciation he has for her.
Honouring His Mother’s Sacrifices
