“Si Za Kweli”: Platnumz’s Management Breaks Silence On Bouncer Attack On Journalist
Diamond Platnumz’s management has broken its silence on a bouncer’s attack on an ST Bongo journalist over the weekend in Zanzibar.
WCB Wasafi in a statement released on Friday 1st March 2024, the management said Platnumz’s bouncer Onesmo never attacked the journalist and that the information shared on social media was fake.
The management added that an ST Bongo journalist during Zuchu’s show concert in Zanzibar, used force to make fake news from the legendary singer when the bouncer chipped in to protect his boss.
“Menejimenti ingependa kujulisha umma ya kuwa taarifa hizo sio za kweli na zenye malengo ya kupotosha na kupandikiza chuki.” Platnumz’s management broke their silence.
“Mwandishi huyo alivuka mipaka ya sheria za kupata habari kwa kujaribu kulazimisha kwenda kuwarekodi wasanii Diamond na Zuchu katika eneo la hoteli ambalo waandishi wa habari hawaruhusiwi” the managent added.
The management further alleged the viral video shared online, never showed the journalist being assaulted but what was shown was how he was ferried to an ambulance to go for medication.

Following the alleged assault reports linked to Platnumz’s bodyguard, the WCB Wasafi added that their CEO believes in promoting talents and youth employment through the media thus journalists should adhere to media ethics when delegating their duties.
“Tunatoa wito kwa vyombo habari kufuata mipaka ya kazi na sheria zilizotungwa katika kuheshimu utu, haki za faragha na ubinadamu. Pia, kuepuka kutengeneza habari za uongo ambazo zinaweza kuleta chuki na kudhuru heshima ya tasnia” the management added.
Over the weekend, Platnumz accompanied Zuchu in Zanzibar to seek an apology from Zuchu after their fallout. In Zanzibar, he surprised the Honey hitmaker on the stage with an apology where he promised her more love and to stay faithful.
