Speaking to Nation journalist through his manager Sallam SK, the manager said backstage chaos created a sense of insecurity for the singer, making him leave the venue.

The manager stated that when he and Diamond saw chaos backstage, they left the venue, adding that the event organisers and the security agents failed to manage the chaos.
“The organizers couldn’t handle the call times of other artists, which led to fights backstage. For security reasons, it was no longer safe for Diamond to go on stage,” Sallam SK explained.
The manager added that although Diamond Platnumz never performed, he was paid the full amount as they agreed with the event organisers.

However, Kenyans blamed Diamond Platnumz for leaving Kenya without performing, when fans had paid for the event.
The event organisers took to the X platform to express their frustrations after Diamond Platnumz failed to perform. “We deeply regret that Diamond Platnumz did not perform. Despite our efforts to accommodate him and his team, their behaviour and demands were unfortunate,” the statement said in part.
