While performing his song Yatapita at the Coffee Marathon Concert on the night of Saturday, May 24, the singer brought a little girl named Atasha on stage.
Diamond Platnumz praises little Atasha
He praised her for her beauty and spirit, but also predicted that she would become the future president of Uganda if she continues to work harder.
"You are so beautiful. So cute and smart," Diamond said as the little Atasha responded with a thank you.
"May God bless you so that one day you can become the president of this country. So, Atasha, I would like to introduce you to my daughter.... Do you know her?" Diamond said and smiled, then released the little beauty back to the crowd section.
But also, if you leave that aside, Atasha gave Diamond a gift of 10,000 UGX (KSh 350), an act that touched the I Miss You hitmaker.
Diamond promised to put the money in his prize box as a sign of love and gratitude from Uganda.
The Coffee Marathon Concert was held on Saturday, May 24, at the Africa Coffee Park Stadium in Rwashamaire, Uganda, with the aim of uplifting low-income women who are engaged in coffee farming.
Various stars such as Eddy Kenzo, Bebe Cool and Ben made history on the stage of the grand African Festival.
How much did Diamond get paid in Zanzibar?
Diamond is unquestionably one of Africa's biggest stars, and his appearances don’t come cheap; they come with price tags.
Just last week, he stole the show at a lavish wedding in Lusaka, Zambia.
It wasn't just about his performance but also about the huge fee he reportedly earned.
According to Wasafi TV and several Zambian media outlets, the Bongo Flava icon was paid a whopping $700,000 (about KSh 90.8 million) to perform at the wedding of prominent businessman Jimmy Karabassis and his wife, Kadi.
The extravagant reception and his impressive entourage only added to the grandeur of the event.

What about Diamond's payment in Kenya?
Diamond's fees have always been a hot topic, but recent events have revealed what he earns.
In an interview, the Tanzanian star opened up about his payment for the Furaha Festival in Kenya, a gig that got people talking because he didn’t perform as expected.
Diamond addressed the disappointment of his Kenyan fans.
He explained that he had been waiting inside his car for hours, expecting to take the stage, but his slot kept getting pushed back by the organisers.
In the end, he never got to perform, despite being paid millions for the event.
