Singer Diamond Platnumz has for the first time disclosed that towards the end of 2013 his mother Sandra Sanura Kassim aka Mama Dangote got so sick to an extent of being paralyzed.
In an interview on Wasafi FM, Platnumz said that he had to fly his Mum to India for treatment, an act that was very costly because he did not have a medical cover at that time.
The Wasafi CEO added that she is always happy to see his mother on the move and healthy as the 2013 stroke left him confused. He also thanked Clouds Media Group Founder and business Partner Joseph Kusaga for being helpful at that particular time.
“Mwaka 2012 /2013 Mama yangu (@mama_dangote ) Alipata Stroke (Ali-paralyze) na ikabidi apelekwe India kwa matibabu.
Nilichanganyikiwa sana, ndio mara ya kwanza kuona Mamangu hatembei, hazungumzi, alafu Gharama ambazo ziliingia pale na kutumika mpaka unamuona Mama Dangote Huyu anadunda haikuwa simple.
Tulisafiri naye kwenda India ambapo alikaa karibia Mwezi, alienda na Sallam, Mjomba na Mama Yangu Ndogo, Gharama ambazo niliingia wakati ule isingekuwa Muziki, sijui ingekuwa aje.
Lakini pia nimshukuru Mkurungezi wa Clouds Media Joseph Kusaga maana alinipia Ndege ya mimi kwenda India” said Diamond Platnumz.
Over the years, Chibu Dangote has proved to have a very strong bond with his mother and always reminiscing the struggles they have been through together.
In May this year, the Bongo Flava star, came out to encourage his mother to enjoy life and live it to the fullest, saying she went through a lot to raise him.
“Kula Maisha mamaangu, Umepata tabu sana kunilea hadi leo kufika hapa...furaha yangu ni kuona unafurahi 🙏” read Diamond's post,.
Mama Dangote has been known to be a great pillar in Diamond’s life, a strong mother whose support propelled his music career.
