Bongo mega star Diamond Platnumz has to deal with his father’s public messages to him via the media.
Diamond has for a long time had a tumultuous relationship with his father, Abdul Juma.
Now, Abdul claims that he has given up on his fight with skin cancer and he is ready to die.
“Honestly, a time reaches when one loses hope to the point you feel it’s better to die because there’s no other option. My legs usually hurt so much, truly this is immense suffering,” Abdul said.
He also insinuated that since Diamond has not reached out to him for reconciliation, he will be greatly “troubled” when he dies.
In a past interview, Diamond explained:
“While we might not have a connection, there are people who think I am at war with my father since they hardly see me with him in public. Others go as far as going to bringing my father to my gate and taking photos saying that I have locked him out of my home, which is unacceptable.”
Adding, “I, however, send him money, when he requests. I also send him money whenever he tells me he is ailing. However, living together under the same roof would be impossible. All my life growing up, he was never there for me. Why should I pretend that I am now ready to share a house with him?”
