Tanzania Bans Diamond Platnumz From Performing

The popular Tanzanian singer had been dogged by controversy in recent years.

The song ‘Mwanza’ contains the Swahili word for “h-orny”, and dancers are seen in a video simulating s-ex.

Diamond Platnumz had treated the ban with “disdain” by singing the lyrics at a concert, the arts regulator said.

In April he was questioned by police after posting on Instagram a video clip of himself playfully k-issing a woman. The authorities accused him of behaving indecently.

Tanzania’s arts regulator, Basata, said Diamond Platnumz would also be banned from performing abroad, but it is unclear how it would enforce this.
