Zubeida , in a public plea, urged the singer to put his guard down and come to the rescue of his biological father, who is reportedly struggling with an array of health issues. In a plea, Zubeida claims Diamond’s dad Abdul Juma’s persistent leg problem has become so severe the old man can barely get out of bed in the morning.
She further makes a long-shot effort to get Diamond to perhaps ease his tough stance against his dad and perhaps extend a helping hand. “I am asking you if possible, you can see each other, sit down and talk. see if the problem between you and your daddy can be sorted especially because your daddy is very ill.
Sometimes i communicate with him at night and he is crying because of the pain from the legs. IF YOU WANT to meet me i’ll be happy. i want you to see the extent of your dad’s illness we talk then you will understand why I flew in from London,” she stated. Earlier reports have indicated of how the Tetema hitmaker’s father has consistently made attempts to reach out to his son to no avail.
It is understood Diamond’s father abandoned his family when the singer was a very tender age and since then, there has been a cold war between the two. Mzee Abdul’s problems were initially financial mostly but with his deteriorating health, he has now shifted to asking his son for medical aid. At some point, Diamond strongly suggested he had forgiven his father for all his misgivings but his actions have strongly suggested otherwise.
