Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz has once again attracted attention on social media following remarks about his children with Ugandan businesswoman Zari Hassan.
The singer’s comments have reignited discussions about the paternity of his children, Princess Tiffah and Prince Nillan, with many social media users sharing different opinions. A video of the remarks has also been circulated online, drawing more attention to the issue.
Diamond and Zari were once one of East Africa’s most popular celebrity couples. Although their romantic relationship ended several years ago, they continue to share parenting responsibilities for their two children.
The singer has previously made comments about his children that sparked public debate. In an interview in August 2025, Diamond said he was aware that some of the children he takes care of might not be biologically his. However, he explained that he continued to support them rather than engage in disagreements with their mothers.
His remarks caused many people to speculate about the paternity of his children with Zari. The businesswoman later responded to the rumours, firmly stating that Princess Tiffah and Prince Nillan are Diamond’s biological children.
Zari also dismissed claims linking her children to her late former husband, Ivan Ssemwanga. She maintained that Diamond is their father and questioned why social media users were focusing on her family.
The renewed debate has attracted mixed reactions from fans. Some have called for people to respect the privacy of the children, while others have continued discussing the former couple’s relationship.
Despite the attention surrounding their personal lives, Diamond and Zari have continued to appear in public discussions about parenting and celebrity relationships.
The situation has once again highlighted how the private lives of famous personalities can become topics of widespread discussion on social media.
However, paternity claims should not be treated as facts without reliable evidence. The children’s privacy and well-being remain important as the online conversation continues.
