Kenyan superstar Tanasha Donna had invited the press to the launch of her EP “DonnaTella” that was supposed to go down on the 12 of December this year at a popular restaurant in Nairobi.
Well, that did not happen as she postponed it to a later date in 2020.

The singer has now come out to reveal that the EP will officially be launched in January 2020 terming awards as the reason to the postponement of the project.
She told The Times TV that “Expect it in January 2020. I was supposed to release in December but I got advice that if I released t in 2019 it won’t win awards because it won’t count as a 2020 project. That’s why I pushed it.”

The singer is set to do this project both in Kenya and Tanzania.
Rumour has it that Diamond Paltnumz and WCB crew will be among the performers of the night.
Tanasha Donna has some advice for ‘people’ on her Instastories. In it, she tells urges people who are infatuated/in-love with someone to move on if their attentions are unrequited.
She tells both men and women that they should stop trying to impress those people they are into and just live their best lives. Her Instagram message is below;

A section of the people who read her message were convinced that she was throwing shots at Diamond’s former lovers, Hamisa and Zari, which I think might be true.

Hamisa hasn’t made any secret about the fact that she still desires her baby daddy with plenty of antics over the years proving this fact. Zari meanwhile, is playing the role of the bitter ex exceptionally well.
Miss Hassan looking good
In one post zari will castigate Diamond for being a deadbeat while in another she will boast about her son being Mr. Platnumz spawn! Huh! Go figure.
Below are some comments to those reacting to Tanasha’s post; bella_aluoch This girl is wise beyond her years!👌👌😍

Ali Kiba and his wife have been the subject of break-up rumours for a large part of 2019. The couple who got married last year in a star-studded affair, might have gotten a kid together after their wedding but that didn’t stop people from speculating about what was going on in their marriage.
The conjecture has reached such a point that Ali is exasperated with it and has asked fans to lay off him and his pretty Kenyan wife, Amina Khalef is on the rocks after just two years of marriage.
Amina-Khalef at her wedding
In a recent interview Alikiba had with a leading Tanzanian showbiz blog, the question on the state of his marriage was brought up. The singer who had been calm up to that point became visibly agitated, suddenly went ballistic before storming out of the interview set.
‘Mke wa nani? Sasa mke wa kwangu wewe anakuhusu nini? Mke wangu achana nao. Huyo ni wangu mimi nimeoa, achana nao. Waachane naye ni mke wangu mimi. Kama hayawahusu, hayawahusu. That’s it,’ he said before walking out.

Alikiba and Amina married in April 2018 in two lavish ceremonies held in Mombasa and Dar es Salaam. The two welcomed their first child and Alikiba’s fourth last September.
But even so, the rumours have refused to die down. Media reports from Tanzania now indicate that all is not well in the marriage, despite the couple’s best efforts to make up.

Interestingly, Kiba’s travails at the hands of the media mirror those of his arch-rival, Diamond Platnumz who is also with a Kenyan woman, Tanasha Donna.

Diamond and Tanasha have faced constant rumours this year that their relationship wasn’t in the best place, something they have ignored.
Diamond and Tanasha Donna were blessed with a baby boy in October this year. The birth marked a year since the couple started seeing each other in late 2018.
During early 2019, the Tanzanian musician kept on hinting that he would make an honest woman of Miss Donna before the year was done.
Diamond and Tanasha Donna in the past
But he kept pushing the date with the last time he spoke about getting married being an admission that he had cold feet about settling down with one woman.
But this week the ‘African Beauty’ musician again spoke about the issue in a recent interview caught on video. Could Tanasha be seeing an end to her plight as a baby mama and become wife to East and Central Africa’s most popular musician?
Diamond Platnumz together with Tanasha
He told a Wasafi TV interviewer,
‘I might be leaving the singles club soon as all my friends and contemporaries are getting married. Santos, Kundalini, Queen Darlin have gotten married. So I don’t have a reason not to join the bandwagon as I have a very good woman with me(pointing at Tanasha). She gave me a beautiful baby boy(Naseeb Junior). I don’t lack for anything, I have great friends. This means I have every reason to get married.’
The artiste also revealed some things that people don’t know about his baby mama Tanasha. Chibu proudly proclaimed that apart from her being wise, she is also someone who dislikes petty fights and that was one of the reasons why their relationship issues have been kept on the down-low.
‘She does not do things online that embarrass me or try to castigate me. She does things from the heart.’ Diamond finished.
For some time there have been rumours that Diamond Platnumz and Tanasha Donna had issues in their relationship. These rumours were fueled by images and videos that looked to show that the couple might not be happy in each other’s presence anymore.

The video below which took place during their son’s 4oth day celebration was pushed that agenda, showing the singer looking irritated with Tanasha.
It seems that Diamond has had enough of the claim that he was already treating Miss Donna like an old plaything and decided to share a video on his Instagram page dedicated to Miss Donna.
Diamond and Tanasha Donna in the past
The video was then re-shared by Tanasha on her own page. The video in question is noteworthy because of its theme. In it, a wounded man with a spearing jutting through his body is seen walking towards his lover.
Instead of trying to help him the lover rushes to embrace him and also gets impaled in the process, dying with her lover. The scene evokes memories of the popular Shakespeare tragedy called Romeo and Juliet.
In it, the star-crossed lovers die in each other’s arms because none of them would want to leave life without the ‘love of their life’. While the Chibu’s video might do a lot to allay the fears that the relationship is struggling, I still have my doubts.
This is Diamond and Tanasha’s first official family pictures coming days after his 40 celebration.
Tanasha delivered the baby boy on October 2nd, but held back showing him off. Since then the baby has been making several debut (face hidden) leaving fans wanting to see more.
Fans got their wishes on November 26, when the newborn Naseeb was unveiled in a lavish ceremony in Tanzania that was the talk of town.
The photo has been inundated with well wishes from fans and followers.
Diamond Platnumz’s mother Sandra Sanura Kasimu is loved by many of her son’s followers for the remarkable influence she has had on her globetrotting son.
Sanura is the first line of defence for her son from the haters and anyone who would take shots at her golden goose. The woman goes so far as to fight with Diamond’s baby mama’s after her son has gotten tired of them.
The artist with his mother
Diamond’s baby mama Hamisa Mobetto saw the sheer ferocity that Sanura had when she allegedly threw her out of her home after her son had sampled the Tanzanian beauty.

But how is she treating her son’s current bae, Tanasha Donna? Like a hawk! Sanura admitted in an interview with GPL that she had left her boyfriend at their home in Madale and moved in with her ‘daughter-in-law’ in her house located on Mbezi Beach.

Ms Sandra said she made the decision to move in with Tanasha was because she didn’t want her to have a hard time raising the newborn, Naseeb Junior.
‘I have relocated from my home in Madale to Tanasha’s in Mbezi Beach so that I can take care of my grandchild until he is grown up because I don’t want my daughter in law to find herself in problems in rearing the child. I have left my husband Shamta in Madale in the company of our guard,’ Sandra said.

While this might seem like a completely altruistic move on Sanura’s part, I believe it may already be doing more harm than good.
Diamond Platnumz and Tanasha Donna held their son’s 40th-day celebrations yesterday. The event was well-attended with the couple spending an arm and a leg to make sure their son’s event went smoothly.
But things might not be going well with the couple at the moment. Why? A video from the event emerged showing the couple posing hand in hand for the assembled media.
Tanasha Donna, Diamond and Maina Kageni in the past
But what was worth noting was that after they had finished posing, Diamond hurriedly disengaged from Tanasha, even looking like he was annoyed to be with her.
According to some, there is a possibility the parents are not seeing eye to eye at the moment. Others started wondering why Diamond has never posted a photo of Tanasha on his timeline.

Some of those comments from the video are below;
It was argued that way back when the singer was with Zari Hassan, he proudly flaunted their love without any fear.
cindysarah25 If she manages to get that rock 🤣🤣🤣I’ll salute 🤣🤣🤣but right now it’s her in her moment pretty much what Zari went through
ashura0691 @cindysarah25 Zari never went through an unaffectionate phase like her. Domo would neverr push away Zari’s hand like that
Pink_tz_official Mbona kama mkono kautoa kishari
nasrah_abdullah22 Body language says a lot here# the way Diamond pulled away from her.
nachingurumwajuma Sasa huyo baba mtoto alivyotoa mkono haraka haraka cheee
Sampdaa_ Something is wrong here. Ona Baba Lao alivyoutoa mkono baada ya kupiga picha yaan km alikuwa kabanwa.
For me, the video above isn’t proof that the couple is having issues, rather it is their lack of photos on their respective social media pages of each other that concerns me.
Esma-Sanura Tanasha-Diamond
This is a couple that loved sharing all their happenings when they first started dating. What has happened? One can only guess?
Diamond Platnumz and Tanasha Donna officially unveiled their son’s face yesterday during the 40 days celebration. The event was held at the singer’s Madale home in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Naseeb Junior
Many of the invitees to the bash were Wasafi artistes with Diamond’s family, relatives, and close friends attended the event but none of Tanasha’s relatives could be seen in the pictures and videos we have seen.
Diamond Platnumz with Tanasha Donna
Why would the couple hold such an event? Is it mere extravagance or is there more to it than meets the eye? The celebration of 40 days is typical in Muslim cultures for a mother to rest after delivery for 40 days.
The mother does not do anything but care for the newborn baby; relatives and friends come to help her. The mother takes over her household duties again and appears outside the house on the 40th day when the celebration is traditionally held.
The follow-up-visit is scheduled for this day so that the visit can be incorporated into the celebration. The visit has 3 purposes:
1) To assure the health of the mother;
2). To check on the child’s health
3. To assist the mother with contraception.
Both parents both shared intimate photos of their son on their Instagram pages. Chibu’s caption read, ‘Welcome to the World NJ…… Dady Loves You!❤🌍❤’, while Tanasha’s message simply read, ‘My baby NJ ❤️’

A while back, Diamond Platnumz was accused of being unfaithful to Tanasha Donna with a video vixen known as Irene Louis a.k.a Queen Lynn.
That did not stop him from signing her up for his Wasafi Festival in Dar es Salaam that took place a few days back.
Queen Lynn shared a stage with Diamond, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage among other top Tanzanian stars. Please note, Tanasha also attended the event.
One wonders, how are they still friends after they had a very embarrassing back and forth conversation in public.
Diamond reacted to rumours that he had an affair behind Tanasha Donna’s back.
A singer and model spent the night at his palatial residence in Dar es Salaam and took photos of his bedroom.
Queen Lynn posted the photo of Diamond’s bed on Snapchat and later deleted it.
Things got rough for Diamond who had to explain to Tanasha why the cheating allegations are cropping up.
To defend himself he had to post screenshots of his interactions with Queen Lynn dating back from December last year.
In one screenshot Diamond writes:
“Acha kulazimisha kuonekana unatembea na mimi au kuonekana eti ulilala kwangu, wakati ni kitanda chako umenunua danube kimefanana na changu. Weka heshima usilazimishe kiki kupitia jina langu. (Stop making it look like I hang out with you and that you spent the night at my residence. You bought a bed similar to mine at Danube. Respect yourself and stop seeking out publicity stunt using my name).”
In another post, he said he hasn’t talked to the socialite since December last year when he was in Nairobi for Wasafi Festival.
“Koma kunitumia vipicha vyako vyako vya kujisexisha kuzani labda eti ndio utanirubuni. Nina mwanamke niache! Huyu sio diamond yule! (Stop sending me your sexy photos in a bid to seduce me. I have a woman, leave me alone! I’m not that Diamond of the past!)”
Check out the screenshots posted by Diamond and later deleted.
The question of whether Diamond Platnumz will ever marry Tanasha Donna has been on many romantics lips? The musician has in the past said that he was ready to make Miss Donna an honest woman but has kept on moving the wedding date.
He has so far given different excuses for pushing the wedding date that just doesn’t add up. But we may finally have an answer as to why Chibu hasn’t married the mother of his youngest child. And who gave us a plausible reason? Diamond? No. Tanasha? No.
Diamond and Tanasha Donna in the past
It was Diamond’s younger sister Queen Darleen. Queen spoke to Simulizi na Sauti and told them that she and her brother had discussed the topic several times.
Diamond Platnumz with Queen Darleen
Queen revealed that her sibling’s biggest fear is being tied down by a woman for the rest of his life. She also explained that the musician feels like the only way he can settle down is if he is prepared to be monogamous for the rest of his life. Queen said,
‘We talk about marriage a lot of times. He is a person who fears matters related marriage. He wants to prepare himself before deciding to settle down.’
Queen Darleen
The truth is that Diamond may never settle down just like Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. The entertainer has dated a long series of women. From Wema Sepetu to Zari Hassan to Hamisa Mobetto to his current woman Tanasha.
Zari Hassan with Diamond Platnumz in the past
The common thing among all these ladies; they all failed to get that elusive ring that Diamond holds seductively in-front of them. Always seeing it in the distance but never getting it.
He is a sybarite, a man of the wild. In essence, what makes Diamond attractive as a musician/man to women, also makes him a terrible choice for marriage.
Tanasha Donna gave birth to Naseeb Junior on October 2nd this year, coincidentally the day that the boy’s father was born. That day she also posted an image showing Diamond Pltanumz holding their baby boy.
Since that day the normally sociable Miss Donna hadn’t added a photo on her page (I am not talking about her Instastories which are a totally different thing).
Diamond holding his son
And it made sense, she was recovering from the hard and tough task of giving birth, something many women take years to do. But yesterday she finally decided to re-emerge onto the public scene and she did so on with some beautiful photos on her page.
The light-skinned beauty is seen posing in a pair of blue jeans and a black top with heels to match. To say that she looked as good as she did before she got pregnant is an understatement. The caption that accompanied her picture is below;
It’s been a minute ya’l 🙈❤️
Tanasha Donna back on Instagram
Many of her followers including Diamond were quick to celebrate her return, with Chibu even saying, ‘❤️MAMA LAO❤️❤️’. One consistent theme from fans and followers was that the beauty had come back without the baby fat which is an admirable feat.

Diamond Platnumz’s mum revealed her son’s face yesterday on her Instagram photos. Baby Chibu is quite the looker and was in a peaceful slumber from the one photo that we saw of him.

And our bestest ever grandmother is at it again.
Diamond’s mother wants everyone to know what a cute baby her son and daughter-in-law have created.
Sanura Kasimu has released some more photos of the boy and from what we can see the baby has Tanasha’s skin tone and hair.

However, his full visage will remain hidden until he celebrates his 40th day on earth.
That last part I read on some other blogs and I am still stumped as to the why? Hmm…Is it true?
Tanasha Donna and Diamond Platnumz have been very careful and kept the face of their child hidden from the eager public. The couple, who had baby Simba on October 2nd (Diamond’s birthday) have kept their son’s visage off the interwebs.
But thank the Lord for grandmas who don’t toe the party line. Diamond’s mother, Sanura Kasimu, decided to give the public a taste of what the genes of her son and her ‘daughter-in-law’ can breed.

Sanura released an image of her grandson on her Instalive stories that showed the child sleeping peacefully. From the grainy photo, one can note that although many kids have curly in the initial months after their births, Chibu’s son has gotten the extra curly hair from his mom.

Don’t forget that Miss Donna is a point 5 having had an Italian father and a Kenyan mother. One thing we should note that even with this reveal we still don’t know what Diamond’s son’s name is.
Tanasha had previously said that the kid will be given an Islamic name, following in the footsteps of his father Diamond whose real names are Naseeb Abdul.

She had also stated in the past that she wouldn’t convert even if she married the Tanzanian star. One waits to see how this whole affair will transpire?
Tanasha Donna and Diamond Platnumz were blessed with a new-born son two weeks ago. The couple has been giddy about the news and Miss Donna has been sharing a lot about her pregnancy and the experiences she has had so far.
So many of their fans have been asking them to reveal the face of their son. She has said she is not ready so far. Yesterday, she decided she is going to give us a sneak peek of her son saying he is healthy even after being in her tummy (42 weeks) past his due date.
Check out the photo below;

During one of her revealing sessions this week, Miss Donna had explained her secret for her flat tummy. The radio personality explained that to achieve her flat tummy, she used a stretch mark removing lotion on a daily basis.

But she had a caveat that it depended on one’s body type because people have different genes and their diet.
‘Honestly speaking it all depends on each body type. Everyone is different and people have different genes. PALMERS stretch mark lotion helped prevent stretch marks, I used it on a daily basis. I will advise my ladies or moms to be, to love their bodies regardless because it takes a lot to grow that little human being inside of you. Also, I personally believe that it really all depends on your diet, genes, whether or not you hydrate. I wouldn’t really pinpoint any specific secret,’ Tanasha said.
Tanasha Donna surprised many when she showed off her flat tummy earlier this week. This was barely a week after she had given birth.
The result was collective shock and amazement that the beauty had been able to accomplish a feat that many post-natal women struggle with. There were some who could not believe that her body was back in such great form after such a short time.

Now she has decided to share her secrets with her followers on Instagram and allay all the naysayers’ stories. The radio personality explained that to achieve her flat tummy, she used a stretch mark removing lotion on a daily basis.
But she had a caveat(so don’t go rushing to buy the stretch mark remover just yet!). She also said that it depended on one’s body type because people have different genes and their diet.

“Honestly speaking it all depends on each body type. Everyone is different and people have different genes. PALMERS stretch mark lotion helped prevent stretch marks, I used it on a daily basis,” she said.

Also, I personally believe that it really all depends on your diet, genes, whether or not you hydrate. I wouldn’t really pinpoint any specific secret,” added Tanasha.

According to the health website, Livestrong, the fastest way to a flat stomach after pregnancy is through healthy nutrition, getting adequate sleep, breastfeeding, exercise, and decreasing stress. Giving your body a little time along with understanding more about how these health habits can play a role in getting that flat belly back.
Tanasha Donna gave birth last week to much fanfare. The beauty celebrated the news of the birth with a cake at the hospital where she had delivered. Why did she do that? Well, her son and his father Diamond Platnumz were both born on the same day!
Diamond holding his son
Unlike some female celebrities who take a complete break from social media, Miss Donna decided to do the opposite and release a photo of herself.
Yes, this is barely a week after she gave birth for those of you who are counting keenly. The grainy photo which she released on her I.G stories shows the beauty cradling her flat tummy.

Yes the tummy is flat as an ironing board as one can see. I know there are those of you who are envious of her being able to have her post-partum body look that good after giving birth! That’s normal for everyone who has red blood in their veins. Schadenfreude.
Miss Donna shortly before she gave birth
One shouldn’t forget that the pressure placed on female celebrities to look good right after giving birth is immense and one can understand why they work so hard at back their pre-pregnancy bodies.
Kylie Jenner is one of those female celebs and in a YouTube Q&A, she spoke of the insecurities she had with her body despite getting it to close to where it was before pregnancy, saying,
My boobs are three times the size, which bothers me. I have stretch marks on my boobs. My stomach isn’t the same, my waist isn’t the same, my butt’s bigger, my thighs [are] bigger. And honestly, I’m finding I have to change my style a little because nothing in my closet fits me from before.
Tanasha Donna is over the moon after she was blessed with her first child. Chibu’s son was born coincidentally born on his birthday and the two even celebrated this fact at the hospital.
Tanasha at the baby shower
She went on to share her birth experience saying that she laboured for 17 hours before her baby arrived. Her message to her son was nuanced but one could feel the joy and mirth in her heart. Tanasha described him as the best and most beautiful gift. She wrote, ‘Happy birthday to my son. God is good. ❤️🙏🏽’
Tanasha’s message
She wasn’t the only one celebrating the birth, funny man Eric Omondi decided to throw his hat in the ring as a potential godfather for the youngin.
His reason was simple, as his and Diamond’s Eric business relationship had bloomed and become a friendship, it should also blossom to into the family realm.
He went ahead to poke the Dangote’s with a cheeky message that is below;
“Happy Birthday Bro and congratulations on the birth of your Prince, wishing you quick recovery bro, kunywa maji mingi. I know you guys have been calling me nonstop, texting me, Whatsapping and DMing me requesting me to be the child’s Godfather, please stop, it’s enough. I’ll be his Godfather”
Eric and Diamond at a past event
The comedian has been supporting Wasafi’s music by doing renditions of their songs. In June, Diamond appreciated Omondi after he released own version of the hit song ‘Kanyaga’. In his message, Chibu said that he respects him for his efforts to unite East Africa.

Eric hosted their baby shower last month, an event that was held in the Best Western Coral Beach Hotel in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The baby shower was an all-white themed event attended by some of their close friends and family members.
