Tanzanian multitalented musician Naseeb Abdul Juma, widely known as Diamond Platinumz has has revealed a deeply emotional experience that occurred while filming the music video for his hit single dubbed Komasava in Paris.
The moment, he admits, was triggered when he received a distressing phone call mid-shoot.
Speaking to Billboard , Diamond shared that he remembered being in the middle of shooting the Komasava music video in Paris when he received a call from Tanzania regarding tax issues. He said that upon learning his account had been frozen, he immediately stopped working and began to cry.
The Inauma hitmaker went on to say that he called his accountant, enquiring about the situation, and was informed that some documents needed to be submitted, adding that he instructed the accountant to deliver them promptly.
The self-proclaimed Simba added that after the phone call, he went to the bathroom and cried deeply.
“Nakumbuka Wakati Nashoot Video Ya Komasava Kule Paris, Nilipokea Simu Kutoka Tz Kuhusu Masuala Ya Kodi, Nikauliza Kuna Nini Tena?, Nikaambiwa Account Yako Imefungwa, Nikasema Imefungwaje Sasa Wakati Huo Nikiwa Katikati Nashoot Video Ya Komasava,”Diamond revealed.
“ Niliacha Kazi Na Kuanza Kulia Sana, Nikampigia Simu Muhasibu Wangu Na Kumuuliza Nini Kimetokea?, Akasema Kuna Baadhi Ya Nyaraka Zilipaswa Kuwasilishwa … Nikamwambia Basi Aziwasilishe Haraka, Lakini Ilinitokea Katikati Ya Kazi … Nilienda Bafuni Na Kulia Sana”
Diamond on self-boss
The Wasafi CEO, in addition, disclosed that being your own boss is extremely challenging, explaining that managing everything is a huge task.
He noted that sometimes, even in the middle of an interview, one might receive a disruptive call. Yet, you must continue to show a happy, composed face, even though you’re hurting inside.
“Kuwa Boss Wako Mwenyewe Ni Suala Gumu Sana, Kudhibiti Haya Mambo Yote Ni Kazi Kubwa, Na Muda Mwingine Kama Upo Katikati Ya Mahojiano Unaweza Ukapokea Simu Na Kuna Vurugu Huko, Kwahiyo Lazima Uendelee Kuonesha Uso Wa Furaha, Uso Wa Mahojiano Ilihali Ndani Unaumia,” he said.
