After revealing that he had indeed bought a mansion in South Africa as opposed to the United States, Diamond Plutnumz has opened up on the reasons that drove him to choose the latter over the US.

Speaking to Times FM, the ‘Kidogo’ hit maker said that he was tired of hotels and having to make bookings to be there.

“Mimi mwenyewe kwanza nipate urahisi wa makazi nikiwa kule, nimechoka kuhangaika mahotelini,” said Diamond.

 “Lakini familia yangu ipo kule, mwanangu Tiffah na mwingine ambaye anakaribia kuja kwahiyo nawawekea mazingira bora wasije kuona kwamba baba anazalisha tu.”

Early April, Diamond had reportedly told Stori Tatu ya Planet Bongo that he did not like the US and preferred South Africa.

 “Sina sababu ya kusema ninunue nyumba Marekani. Ninunue nyumba Marekani kwa sababu gani? Kwanza sipapendi, uongozi unajua kabisa.”
