Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz is no stranger to the limelight, but this time, it’s his approach to co-parenting not music that has captured attention. In a recent interview, the Bongo Flava icon opened up about maintaining peaceful relationships with the mothers of his children, a revelation that has sparked debate and admiration alike.
Diamond, who shares children with high-profile women like Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan and Kenyan singer Tanasha Donna, insists that co-parenting peacefully is not only possible but necessary. “I am cool with all my baby mamas. They love me, I know it,” he said. “Their men sometimes get mad thinking something is going on, but no we’re just being mature.”
Experts like psychologist Dr. Lorna Gitau agree that such harmony is achievable but only with maturity. “Once romance is off the table, maturity must take over. The focus should be on the child’s wellbeing, not past emotions or rivalry,” she notes.
Diamond’s approach underlines the importance of setting boundaries and focusing on the children’s needs. For peaceful co-parenting, experts recommend:
- Clear Boundaries: Respect your co-parent’s current relationship and avoid actions that could be misunderstood or reignite past issues.
- Open Communication: Consistent, respectful communication about your children covering their health, education, and daily needs helps to build trust and cooperation.
- Emotional Detachment: Letting go of old romantic feelings is key. The relationship must evolve into a partnership centered on parenting.
While some may question Diamond’s intentions, his actions have sparked a conversation about modern fatherhood and emotional maturity. In a culture where public breakups often lead to long-term feuds, his ability to maintain harmony is worth studying and perhaps emulating.
