Tanzanian music sensation, Diamond Platnumz, has once again found himself in the spotlight, but this time it’s not for his chart-topping hits or personal life. The focus has shifted to his English language skills, which have become a recurring topic of online discussion.
Recent interactions with American singer Jason Derulo put Diamond on the spot.
In the video, Jason shakes Diamond’s hand and asks when he arrived in town. Diamond replies, “Second right? Second in the morning.”
In his appearance on reality TV show “Young, Famous, and African” he was also on the spot for claiming he is 31st years old.
The singer also received criticism in 2017 for a promotional post about his perfume line, where he wrote, “I feel incomplete when I am on any outfit, without wearing @chibuperfume!….. @chibuperfume by Diamondplatnumz coming out this week!”
From misusing words and grammatical errors to unexpected responses, the singer has unintentionally provided ample fodder for online banter.
While Diamond’s musical talent is undeniable, his English language struggles have become a source of amusement and criticism for many. However, it’s essential to remember that English is not his first language. Despite the playful ribbing, the singer’s global appeal remains intact.
