The criticism did not end there. Some fans also questioned why Platnumz did not attend a recent Quran recitation competition in the country. They argued that since he was a Muslim, he should have attended an event that aligns with his faith, rather than a Christian event.

Others however defended the singer saying previous leaders have also made prayers in mosques saying Diamond's actions were not evil.
