Diamond Platnumz was recently nominated in the African Musik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA) 2016 where the award ceremony went down in Dallas Texas, but the Salome hitmaker was nowhere to be seen during the red carpet or the main event.
Diamond Platnumz won the Best Male East Africa category at the AFRIMMAs, though he wasn’t present to receive the trophy.
Other than that, Diamond Platnumz was also on the list of performances for the AFRIMMA night, and a week ago, he had even put the event as part of his scheduled performances for October, which begs the question of what happened for him to suddenly pull out the last minute.
Most of the nominees around Africa attended the much anticipated African Musik Magazine Awards in Texas, like Kenya’s Sauti Sol and Akothee, Nigeria’s Tekno, Tanzania’s Vanessa Mdee and Harmonize and many others.
Talking to Mseto’s Willy M Tuva, Harmonize revealed the real reason Diamond Platnumz was not able to attend the coveted awards. According to him, Diamond missed his flight when they were leaving, because they were supposed to travel together.
He also mentioned that Diamond was not the only one who missed the flight since his dancers were not also able to catch the flight, though they really wanted to attend the event because to them, this was a very important award ceremony more so for Diamond.
