Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz has playfully addressed relatives planning to visit him and Zuchu after the birth of their baby girl on August 2.
Sharing a message on Instagram, Diamond asked well-wishers to forgo flowers and instead come bearing monetary gifts. He wrote, "Uncles and Aunties coming to the hospital, people, we haven't given birth to bees, these flowers are enough, just come with a gift/money man," sparking amusement among fans across East Africa.
This lighthearted request came amid scenes of celebration, including videos of fellow artist Rayvanny arriving at the hospital with a large bouquet and a room adorned with balloons and flowers.
