For the first time, the artist Diamond Platnumz has opened up about his closeness with the late South African musician Costa Titch who died last weekend while performing on stage.
Diamond has spoken extensively about why he decided to mourn Titch in a unique way by using one of his photos as his profile picture on his Instagram page.
The Wasafi boss, in an exclusive interview that aired on The Switch, painfully talked about how Costa Titch collapsed on stage and died instantly.
“Kwa kweli inasikitisha lakini somo kubwa ni kwamba sisi wote ni wa Mungu na kwake tutarejea kwa hiyo tujitahidi kabisa na mazingira ya kesho yetu. Mwanzo nilipoambiwa nilijua tu kadondoka chini, juu ya jukwaa kama wanavyodondoka wasanii wengine. Kumbe kafa pale pale yaani, inaonesha kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu anaweza kutuchukua muda wowote…” Diamond said.
Diamond Platnumz said that he learned a great lesson that he should make good friendships with people close to him, vowing to ensure that he will end the enmity between him and his many musical enemies.
The Wasafi boss added that in his mind, he knew he would die before Costa Titch due to the fact that he is more than five years older than him.
“Kubadilisha picha yangu na kuweka picha yake, yaani maana yake msiba huu umenigusa sana. Yule alikuwa mwanangu sana halafu ananiheshimu na kunikubali sana. Mara ya mwisho nimeongoea naye kifo cha AKA juzi, ghafla naambiwa amekufa yule mdogo sana maana ana miaka 28 nimemshinda miaka Zaidi ya 5 ukienda 6. Kibinadamu nilikuwa nafikiria kwamab nitatangulia mimi halafu atafuata yeye maanake kuzaliwa nimetangulia pia..” Diamond said.
