Diamond’s Baby Mama’s Tanasha And Mobetto Meet Up
It’s not every day when we get to see two ‘baby-mamas’ with the same father to their children getting along well and even becoming the best of friends.
But the ex flames of Bongo Superstar Naseeb Abdul alias Diamond Platnumz are making an exception to the rule, showing each other love both online and in person.
Yesterday, Kenyan singer and the mother of Platnumz’ young son Tanasha Donna met up with Hamisa Mobetto, who also shares a son with the famous singer.
Donna and Diamond’s son Naseeb Junior just turned two years old, while Mobetto’s son with the star, Dylan is four years old.
The two ladies took to their social media accounts to chronicle their meet up, where they seemed to be fond of each other and in good spirits.
Both uploaded brief, playful clips onto their Instagram stories, tagging and complimenting each other while at it.
“See fine fine Tanasha Donna,” Mobetto wrote alongside a video of Tanasha smiling and waving at the camera.
“The cutest,” she added, before proceeding to document the rest of her evening, which included an outing at a Nairobi club in which she made a celebrity hosting appearance.
Donna and Mobetto have shown that they are in good terms before, with the two sending each other warm wishes on Mother’s Day and on both their birthdays last year.
Mobetto also styled Donna for the music video for Liar, in which she featured singer Masauti.

She Was Young At The Time, Tanasha Donna On Grudge With Bey T
Barely two years after Tanasha Donna and Bey T stormed the internet to fight over a catchphrase, Tanasha has finally given details on her beef with the rapper for the first time.
According to the musician, the misunderstanding came after they both disagreed on an issue.
In an interview with KISS FM, the musician cum entrepreneur said Bey T was young and was misled by people into instigating petty quarrels.
“Honestly speaking I think it was just a misunderstanding, it started over a quote, the ‘Kenya to the world’ thing. And I like she was young at the time and like people tried instigating drama. You know how people can be… people can easily corrupt one’s mind, especially when there is nothing going on,” she said.
According to Tanasha, it is easy to have the feeling that people are out to kill your shine when starting, especially as a young girl in a competitive industry.
“Talking from experience as a young girl you can feel easily like people are out to get you or steal your shine…but I feel like she’s a great artist so she was trying to spit some bars which she is amazing at and I’ll give her credit for that,” she added.
The mother of one confirmed that they have a good relationship following their beef and now are both open to the idea of collaborating with Bey T even though the two have never met yet.
“Why not? I mean I like her music and she’s amazing. Plus, right now, we’re at a good place, we haven’t really met but we have people in common whom we work with,” she said.
Amid their banter, Bey T went ahead to drop a diss track called ‘Don to the Donna’ attacking Tanasha for allegedly sampling her music in 2019.
“Someone tell Tanasha to stop wave riding,” Bey T wrote on Instagram at the time.
According to the rapper, the phrase “Kenya to the World” originated from her, but Tanasha stole it.
