Bahati to Diana Marua: Don’t ruin my friendship with Diamond Platnumz
By David Nthua, September 3, 2025Kenyan musician Kelvin Bahati has, on a light note, cautioned his spouse, Diana B Marua, against putting a wedge between him and Tanzanian artist Diamond Platnumz.
Through a post on his Instagram handle on Wednesday, September 2, 2025, Bahati posted a series of laughing emojis while clarifying that his long-standing friendship with Diamond, popularly known as Simba, cannot be broken.
“Diana B usijaribu kunikosanisha na Simba. Wewe unajua urafiki wangu na Diamond Platnumz ulianza lini?,” Bahati wrote.
The playful exchange came shortly after Diana shared a short video clip where she was seen tearing apart a framed photo of the Tanzanian star, declaring herself the real queen in Bahati’s life.
“Mimi Ndio Mkubwa na Wanao; Wachana na Simba Mi Ndio Mama Lao,” Diana posted, sparking lively reactions online.
A couple never far from headlines
The move stirred debate among fans, with many wondering whether Diana’s action was a tongue-in-cheek stunt or a reflection of her dominant personality in their marriage.
Others applauded Bahati’s humorous response, noting that it demonstrated maturity in balancing his family life and friendships within the entertainment industry.
The couple has not been short of controversies in recent months. From bold social media declarations to public displays of affection, Bahati and Diana have managed to keep their names trending.
Late in August 2025, they faced criticism when Kenyans pressured them to honour a promise of rewarding Harambee Stars players following their CHAN exploits, a pledge the couple had made in the heat of national excitement.
Celebrity power couple in the spotlight
Despite criticism, the two continue to leverage their high-profile status to remain at the centre of Kenya’s entertainment scene.
Bahati’s jovial warning to Diana has been widely interpreted as a sign of his strong bond with Diamond Platnumz, which dates back several years through collaborations and cross-border showbiz interactions.
While Diana insists she is “Mama Lao”, he undisputed matriarch in Bahati’s life, fans appear equally entertained by the lighthearted drama, reminding them once again why the couple consistently dominates social media conversations.
