Tanzanian super producer cum singer, Bob Junior, credited with Diamond Platinumz’s entry into the limelight and eventually success, has gone deaf and he’s blaming it on the musician.
Bob Junior who currently doesn’t see eye to eye with Diamond, says his left ear turned partially deaf due to the long hours he spent producing Diamond’s first hit album and song Kamwambie that turned the bongo flava crooner into an overnight superstar.
Kamwambie was released in 2009 winning Diamond three coveted awards before the release of Mbagala that greatly changed Diamonds’ fortunes from a mere mitumba seller to one of the most highest paid musicians on the continent.
Bob Junior, who is highly respected in Tanzanian showbiz, says after the successes of the two hits, thanks to his magic touch, Diamond dumped him once he became famous and wealthy.
This happened even when Bob Junior desperately needed Diamonds’ financial, social and moral support after he started experiencing difficulties hearing with his left ear that has now become partially deaf.
Bob Junior, who has also produced hits for Alikiba, added that Diamond has never paid him even a single sent for Kamwambie to date.
