Diamond Platnumz’s family has stepped into the public spotlight to defend the singer following renewed claims surrounding the medical care of his ailing former manager, Mkubwa Fella.

After days of online debate and conflicting accounts from Mkubwa Fella’s family and Diamond’s camp, the singer’s mother, Mama Dangote, has broken her silence with an emotional post on Instagram, strongly defending her son’s actions.

Mama Dangote Speaks Out

In her statement, Mama Dangote said she was the first person contacted when Mkubwa Fella fell ill, explaining that Diamond was out of the country at the time.

She revealed that upon receiving the distress call, she immediately got involved and kept her son informed.

According to Mama Dangote, when she contacted Diamond about the situation, he asked whether money had already been sent and instructed that financial assistance be given to Mkubwa Fella’s wife immediately.

Diamond’s Sister Adds Her Voice

Diamond Platnumz’s sister, Esma, also took to Instagram to publicly support her brother. In her message, she encouraged Diamond not to lose heart or feel discouraged about helping others, expressing confidence that God would reward his generosity.

Echoing Mama Dangote’s sentiments, she called on the public to recognise and appreciate acts of kindness, especially when someone goes out of their way to assist in another person’s personal struggles.

Family Rallies Behind Diamond

The statements from Diamond’s mother and sister come amid growing tension online, after Mkubwa Fella’s wife accused the singer of neglect and failing to support her husband during his illness.

These claims were earlier disputed by Diamond’s manager Don Fumbwe, who detailed the singer’s alleged financial involvement in both local and international medical treatment.

While Diamond Platnumz himself has remained publicly silent, his family’s comments have added a new dimension to the unfolding story, reinforcing claims that the singer played an active role behind the scenes.

As Mkubwa Fella continues to battle illness, the situation remains emotionally charged, with fans and industry players calling for compassion, restraint and focus on the manager’s recovery rather than public confrontation.
