Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz, who is married has apologised for fathering a child with a Tanzanian model called Hamisa Mobetto who appeared in one of his music videos.

He made the comments on local radio, ending long-running speculation. The public apology was addressed first and foremost to his wife, a Ugandan businesswoman called Zarina Hassan, and their family:

"I would like to apologise to my wife and kids over my mistakes. I also extend my apology to my fans and all women. I plead for forgiveness."
