Diamond’s father Abdul Juma has dismissed popular belief that he abandoned his son when he was only a kid only to resurface later when Diamond was rich and famous.Speaking during an interview with Mwananchi newspaper, mzee Abdul said that Diamond’s mother Sanura Sandra and him went their separate ways when their son was in form one.The 52-year-old further said that he was yearning to be interviewed together with Diamond and his mother Sanura so that the whole world could know the truth.
“Natamani siku moja nikutanishwe katika mahojiano na Diamond na mama yake ile kila mmoja atoe alilonalo moyoni. Huyu mtoto kanipa majina mengi kutokana na yanayoongelewa mtaani kwamba nilimtelekeza, wakati hakuna ukweli wowote. Mimi niliachana na mama yake wakati akiwa kidato cha kwanza,” said Abdul Juma.Communication
