VIDEO – Diamond’s English ‘Tweng’ Sends Social Media To a Halt

Musician Diamond Platnumz caused an online uproar after a video of his speech speaking in English went viral. He was giving the speech during the Best Of Africa (BoA)Awards which happened in London.

BoA is an awarding event meant to honour and celebrate the philanthropic endeavours and achievements of footballers of African heritage and other stakeholders.

He won an award for the Philanthropic Endeavour Community Action thanks to his contribution to society.

However, despite his grand achievement, people were distracted by his nasal accent as he wrangled with the Queen’s language.

Check out the reactions below after his speech went viral;

Trouble with English

This is not the first time he has been on the receiving end of trolls for his ‘poor’ English in communication and writing.

It is interesting to note that his children, Latifah Dangote and PrinceNillan communicate better in English in comparison to him. Sometimes back, they made headlines after a video of them speaking in English went viral. It seems the two took after their mother, Zari Hassan who too communicates in nasal-y English.
