Tanzanian bongo star Diamond Platnumz has revealed why he is yet to fly in his private jet despite announcing he had bought one in 2022.
The musician shared that he hires private jets whenever he wants to travel because his plans backfired and his jet didn't arrive when he expected it to.
Diamond disclosed that he was defrauded of a staggering Ksh 240,591, 200 million (Tsh 4 Billion) when he bought his own private aircraft.
According to Diamond, he was duped by an agent who was assisting him in buying a private plane.
"I had bought a very big plane, but they conned me about Tsh 4 billion," he told Wasafi Media.
He went on to say that he had denounced the scammer and that the Tanzanian authorities was looking into the matter.
"The government knows, if you are conned that amount of money you would go crazy."
Diamond added that he has started being paid in installments.
"They have started paying. I expected the jet to land here in August last year but by the end of the year, it was not yet here. They disrespected me because they made me look like i had announced fake news."
The musician shared on buying a private jet by the end of last year.
This came after achieving his dream of buying a private island in Zanzibar.
