On December 2, 2023, Tanzanian singer and businessman Diamond Platnumz was robbed of his hat in Dodoma. The incident occurred while he was visiting a mobile phone store in the city.
In a video that has since gone viral, Diamond is seen walking out of the store when a man grabs his hat and runs away. Diamond chases after the man, but he is unable to catch him.
Diamond appears to be visibly upset by the incident. He can be seen shaking his head and muttering to himself. He then returns to the store and asks the employees if they saw what happened.
The employees tell Diamond that they did not see the man who stole his hat. They offer to help him look for it, but Diamond says that it is not worth it.
Diamond then leaves the store and continues with his day. However, he later posts a video on social media in which he expresses his anger over the incident.
“I am not angry because of the hat,” Diamond says in the video. “I am angry because someone had the audacity to steal from me in front of everyone.”
Diamond says that he hopes that the person who stole his hat will be caught and brought to justice. He also says that he will be more careful in the future.
The incident has sparked a debate on social media about the safety of celebrities in Tanzania. Some people have expressed concern that celebrities are being targeted by criminals. Others have said that the incident is a reminder that everyone, regardless of their status, is susceptible to crime.
