A section of fans questioned why Diamond was being prayed for by the preacher in the month of Ramadan
Tanzanian music sensation Diamond Platnumz has come under fire from Muslim fans after attending Christina Shusho’s event, dubbed Mtoko Wa Pasaka.
The event, which took place during the holy month of Ramadan, saw Platnumz being prayed for by a Tanzanian preacher, sparking mixed reactions from fans.
Muslim fans took to social media to criticize the musician, questioning why he would attend a Christian event during the month of Ramadan, which is considered a sacred time for Muslims worldwide.
The criticism did not end there. Some fans also questioned why Platnumz did not attend a Quran recitation competition recently held in the country. They argued that since he was a Muslim, he should have attended an event that aligns with his faith, rather than a Christian event.
