Tanzanian music sensation Diamond Platnumz recently opened up about his desire to have a large family, sharing his personal goal of fathering 10 children. The celebrated artist made the revelation while attending an Afrobeats live event in Paris, where he was spotted in the company of other prominent African stars such as Davido, Bien-Aime Baraza, Stonebwoy, and Adekunle Gold.
Diamond currently has four publicly known children. His two eldest, Princess Tiffah and Prince Nillan, are from his previous relationship with Ugandan businesswoman Zari Hassan. He also has a son, Dylan, with Tanzanian model Hamisa Mobetto, and another son, Naseeb Junior, with Kenyan singer Tanasha Donna. During the Paris meetup, the conversation turned lively when Davido jokingly hinted that Diamond may have more children than he publicly acknowledges. Diamond laughed off the suggestion, humorously stating that if there were any more, he had no knowledge of them.
He went on to share his broader vision, saying that with ten children, there’s a chance one might become a national leader. Jokingly referring to his son Naseeb, he said, “Kenya nikona photocopy,” highlighting how closely Naseeb resembles him. Diamond emphasized that with such a large family, one is bound to raise someone significant — maybe even a president.
However, not everything in the conversation was lighthearted. When Bien suggested that Diamond’s daughter, Tiffah, might follow in his musical footsteps, the artist made it clear he wasn’t enthusiastic about the idea. While open to the idea of his sons joining the music industry if they choose, Diamond said he preferred his daughter not to pursue that path. Fellow artist Stonebwoy tried to persuade him otherwise, arguing that Tiffah would thrive with the backing of her famous father and wouldn’t struggle as many do. Still, Diamond remained firm in his stance.
Fans reacted in various ways to the conversation. Many were excited to see leading African artists enjoying time together and appreciated the camaraderie among them. Others were amused by Diamond’s candidness and his views on fatherhood and parenting roles. Some fans praised his confidence and pride in his son Naseeb, while others found his reservations about his daughter entering music a bit controversial.
In the days following the event, Diamond and Tanasha shared a new photo of their son Naseeb online. The image showed the young boy looking stylish in a sweatsuit and cornrows, sparking admiration from fans. Observers noted how the boy seemed to be a perfect blend of both parents, though many agreed he strongly resembles his father.
Diamond Platnumz continues to be one of Africa’s most talked-about celebrities — not just for his music but also for his personal life, which fans follow with great interest. Whether or not he eventually reaches his goal of ten children remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: family is central to his vision of the future.
