Diamond Platnumz cheekily avoids answering questions about acquiring Cadillac Escalade
In today June 17, interview with Wasafi TV, Diamond Platnumz steered clear of discussing the luxury Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) his family and friends have been flaunting on social media.
Diamond was photographed in the back of the SUV with Zoom Extra video director Kenny but feigned not knowing anything about the vehicle.
While holding back a smile, Diamond said he learned about the vehicle when the photos surfaced online.
I don’t know anything about that. I have been seeing people posting about the vehicle on social media, but I have not shared anything about it. I know nothing about it. I just saw the photos the same way you saw them,” he said.
When pressed to confirm the vehicle’s existence, he cheekily opted not to give a definite answer.
“I don’t know. Those who posted it know best,” he said.
Forbes list saga
Diamond also spoke of his hard-hitting message to Forbes after a fake list of Africa’s wealthiest artists emerged.
“Next time, Google me to know what I am really worth before putting me on your stupid list,” the singer wrote at the time.
According to Diamond, he perceived it as a move meant to look down upon Swahili musicians.
“I saw it as a move meant to disrespect Swahili artistes. I could not sit back and let people look down on us,” Diamond said.
Cadillac Escalade photos
Zari Hassan was the first to share photos and clips of the luxury vehicle. Zari posted a video while with Diamond in the back of the vehicle and captioned it;
“come let us take a mini tour of Diamond’s new monster with Mama Lady”.
Diamond’s long-term friend and Wasafi TV presenter Juma Lokole later revealed that the singer had acquired a Cadillac Escalade Concept One Curve, which goes for around KSh 32 million.
