Diamond Platnumz, the Tanzanian music mogul, has finally broken his silence regarding the controversial no-show at his highly anticipated performance in Kenya over the weekend. In a bold statement, he revealed that he had been paid a hefty sum of Ksh 20 million to perform, but despite the lucrative payout, things didn’t go as planned, and the event organizers were left shocked.
The superstar explained that while he had agreed to perform for such a significant amount, the issue arose when the organizers failed to keep to the scheduled time. According to Platnumz, when he accepts such high-paying gigs, he doesn’t come to the venue to force his way onto the stage. “When you pay me to perform, I will come, sit there and wait for my time to perform,” he said. However, he emphasized that any delay beyond the agreed-upon time is unacceptable.
He further clarified that if the event doesn’t proceed as planned, he will not hesitate to leave without taking the stage. “If you fail to keep time, I will leave, and I won’t be refunding any of your money,” Platnumz added, clearly standing firm on his policy.
The statement has caused quite a stir, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the matter. While some support Platnumz’s stance, arguing that time is valuable, others believe his actions may have tarnished his reputation among fans who were eagerly waiting for the show. Nonetheless, Platnumz’s reputation as a perfectionist when it comes to his work is unquestionable.
As the dust settles, one thing remains clear: Diamond Platnumz values professionalism and expects the same from those he works with. Whether or not this incident will affect his future performances in Kenya remains to be seen, but for now, it seems that the ball is in the organizers’ court.
