Diamond's manager reveals Swizz Beatz blocked access to Diddy's room

What you need to know:

  • The rumors gained traction after a video surfaced of Diamond in an interview, where he hinted that certain events during the visit were not meant to be shared with the public.

Dar es Salaam.Amid allegations surrounding American hip hop icon Sean 'Diddy' Combs, with several celebrities being linked to his controversies, Babu Tale, the manager of Bongo Flava star Diamond Platnumz, has shed light on an incident that took place during their visit to Diddy's home.

In an interview with Rick Media, Babu Tale shared that they were invited to Diddy's residence and were supposed to join him in his room to watch a movie.

However, their host, American music producer Swizz Beatz, prevented them from entering the room.

“We went as planned and left without any issues. It was only recently that I realized Swizz Beatz was actually protecting us. When we arrived, we stayed outside,” Babu Tale recalled.

He added, “Diddy went upstairs to his room to watch a movie, and after some time, two of his employees came to escort us for a meal. Later, Diddy sent for us to join him in his room, but Swizz became visibly upset, and we ended up leaving without saying goodbye. At the time, we thought our brother Swizz was holding us back, but in reality, he was shielding us.”

Babu Tale made this statement in response to circulating rumors about their visit to Diddy's home.

The rumors gained traction after a video surfaced of Diamond in an interview, where he hinted that certain events during the visit were not meant to be shared with the public.

Swizz Beatz, born Kasseem Daoud Dean, is one of the leading producers from the United States. He has worked with many high-profile artists worldwide, including his wife Alicia Keys, as well as Usher, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Drake, DMX, and others.

In 2022, Diamond Platnumz revealed that Swizz Beatz would be the executive producer for his highly anticipated, star-studded international album. While the album was expected to be released that year, it has yet to come out.

Diamond Platnumz' musical relationship with Swizz Beatz began in 2020, when he was featured on Alicia Keys' track "Wasted Energy" from her seventh self-titled studio album.
