A manhunt has been launched for a fan who grabbed Diamond Platnumz's designer hat.
In a video, Diamond was seen being guided through a crowd of fans by his bodyguards when his green baseball hat was grabbed from his head.
A hand was seen emerging from the crowd and grabbed the hat.
The WCB boss was bent down and minutes after the hat disappeared he looked around in amazement.'
The confusion arising from the incident has since gone viral.
He was led to his vehicle where he protested heavily about the theft of his hat.
He then commanded his bodyguard Onesmus to find the thief and return his precious possession.
"Onesmo kofia lazima ipatikane kwa sababu ina nguo nyingi. Yani nguo zangu karibu zote nilizokuja ndo navalia kofia hili. Sasa mimi navaaje leo ndo maanake? Onesmo, staki aje hotelini baki na huyo afwatane nayo kaitafute pekeake," he said.
This loosely translated to: "Onesmo ensure that the hat is retrieved as it matches most of my outfits including the ones I came with. I don’t want Onesmo to accompany me to the hotel, instead, I want him to remain behind and retrieve the hat."
Diamond was visiting the Airtel shop in Dodoma before heading for a party. The green hat is from the US Boston Celtics basketball team.
His reaction got fans questioning the value and the price of the cap.
Later, the hat was returned and handed over to the singer who once again admitted that it was of sentimental value to him.
"Shukrani sana ndugu yangu maanake kofia nimekuja nayo jana, sio kama ya bei nyingi ni ya kawaida lakini."
(Thank you so much. This cap is not costly but..)
