Tanzanian artist Diamond Platinumz has clashed with the Tanzanian airline after he was yesterday stranded at the airport.
The Tanzanian airline released a press statement addressing the rumours that Diamond had been left at the airport after his ticket was sold out.
In the press statement, AirTanzania stated that Diamond and his team was late and that is why they missed their flight.
The statement was however contradicting with Diamond Platinumz narrative as he said that the Wasafi team was there early enough and they were shocked when they were told that only two people from their team can be allowed to travel.
Diamond in an Instagram post complained that some of the tickets were sold off to foreigners who were touring the country.
He also added that there was no way that only two of his team members would get on the flight since they had planned to travel as a team.
Following this clash, both Diamond and Air Tanzania deleted the posts they has shared in relation to the incident in what seemed to be a settled matter.
