Diamond Platnumz: DNA Test Confirms Paternity Of Singer’s Daughter

Popular Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz has been confirmed as the biological father of Latifah Dangote following DNA tests conducted on the singer, Zari Hassan and the toddler. Reports have it that Daimond Platnumz bowed to pressure from sections of fans and critics who claimed there could be a possibility that he did not father Latifah Dangote. They alleged Tifah, as the baby is fondly called, might belong to Zari’s ex-husband, Ivan Ssemwanga, or a Tanzanian business tycoon Zari had been linked with.


In a bid to put the confusion to bed, Diamond Platnumz, Zari Hassan and Latifah Dangote traveled to South Africa to conduct the DNA test on baby Tifah – ostensibly a faraway land that no Tanzanian paparazzi or snoops would get scoop.

Speaking to Citizen TV, Platnumz said, “people talked a lot, created a lot of lies. I was not worried nonetheless. All through, I knew the baby is mine; though just to make myself happier and more peaceful, I decided to conduct a DNA test on Tifah.”

“ Tifah is my daughter, completely! I am extremely overjoyed by the results (DNA). That’s why I am now freer, happier and having a good time. When you happen to visit my office, you will notice I have hung framed photos of Tifah everywhere. I am not worried at all. I can now courageously face my critics,” he affirmed.

You will recall that Diamond Platnumz and Zari Hassan welcomed Latifah Dangote on August 6, 2015.
