It was gathered that the 28-year-old singer was arrested after shirtless images of him in bed with a female companion circulated online.
In the video clip that went viral, the shirtless musician is seen kissing an unidentified white woman as music plays in the background.
Tanzania’s Information Minister, Harrison Mwakyembe, who confirmed the arrest, said the Singer was arrested for “posting uncouth content and spreading indecency on social media.”
Mwakyembe said, “I inform you that yesterday we were able to arrest the great musician Diamond Platnumz, he is being questioned by the police about the indecent photos he circulated.
“Social media is not a garbage dump of sorts. Our country has a culture.
“There are some stars who keep posting uncouth content on social media and I’m proud to say yesterday we arrested Diamond Platnumz.”
Mwakyembesaid that Diamond could be indicted for going against the country’s cybercrime law and threshold of decency following the footage.
Another artiste Nandy will also be apprehended and probed for indecency, the minister said.
According to Dar es Salaam Special Zone Police Commander Lazaro Mambosasa, Diamond, 28, was questioned on Monday and released on bail pending further investigations
