Tanzania’s Amani newspaper reports that the Bongo Fleva giant gave in to pressure from fans and critics who claimed there could be a possibility that he was not the father of Latifah Dangote but his baby mama's ex-husband, Ivan Ssemwanga.

In an interview with Citizen TV, the Tanzanian star was filled with joy as he spoke to the media saying; “People talked a lot, created a lot of lies. I was not worried nonetheless. All through, I knew the baby is mine; though just to make myself happier and more peaceful, I decided to conduct a DNA test on Tifah. Tifah is my daughter, completely! I am extremely overjoyed by the results (DNA). That’s why I am now freer, happier and having a good time. When you happen to visit my office, you will notice I have hung framed photos of Tifah everywhere. I am not worried at all. I can now courageously face my critics."

Diamond disclosed he embraced DNA testing of his child, a practice he says is not popular among Tanzanians, because he wanted to be a hundred percent sure of his status as a father.

Diamond Platnumz and Zari Hassan welcomed Baby Latifah Dangote in August 6, 2015.
