Diamond Platnumz has come out to defend his sexuality as a heterosexual after being called out for being gay by internet trolls.
The rumors started after Tanzanian socialite, Amber Lulu criticized him for wearing an anklet in a photo he posted from one of his performances.
Many fans also questioned his sexuality after he pierced his nose and ears some time back.
“I thought the ankle bracelet, just like any other jewelry, was an accessory. I did not foresee the backlash I received coming my way,” he commented.
The singer felt the need to defend himself before he is branded a homosexual.
The Tanzanian government is strongly against homosexual individual and Baba Tee does not want to be branded as such.
“I am urging those fueling reports, linking me to homosexuality, to stop. There are many young people looking up to me, and I don’t think those rumors are painting a representative picture of me as a role model,” he said.
