Tanzanian music sensation Diamond Platnumz has been making headlines recently for his attendance at Christina Shusho's event, Mtoko Wa Pasaka. However, it was not his attendance alone that has caused controversy. The event, which was held during the holy month of Ramadan, saw Diamond being prayed for by a Tanzanian prophet named Clear Malisa, sparking mixed reactions from fans.
Prophet Malisa prayed for prosperity and blessings over the singer's life, a gesture that some of Diamond's Muslim fans did not take kindly to. To make matters worse, Diamond also quoted a Bible verse during his speech at the event. The verse, Matthew 28:5-6, reads: "The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.'"
